Jordan has nudged Israeli and Palestinian negotiators back to discussions on the peace process

Jordan has nudged Israeli and Palestinian negotiators back to discussions on the peace process, a government official said on Thursday, adding that the two sides had met in Amman during the night.
  
"Israeli and Palestinian officials met last night in Amman for discussions," the official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity. He declined to give details.
  
Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh said Wednesday in an interview with state television that "Jordanian diplomacy has succeeded in breaking the deadlock as the two sides are having discussions now. They are discussions and not talks." "Jordan is following up on these discussions and their outcome. We are seeking to help the two sides go back to direct negotiations," said Judeh.
