* Israeli, Palestinian negotiators meet for talks

AFP, December 12, 2007

JERUSALEM, Dec 12, 2007 (AFP) - Israeli and Palestinian negotiators began meeting on Wednesday for the first time since reviving the Middle East peace process at a US conference last month, officials said.

The two teams -- headed by Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and former Palestinian prime minister Ahmed Qorei -- sat down for talks at a Jerusalem hotel, Israeli and Palestinian officials said on condition of anonymity.

The encounter, away from the media glare, marked the first time that negotiators have met since the conference in the US city of Annapolis last month.

In Annapolis, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas formally relaunched the peace process after a seven-year freeze, pledging to aim for a comprehensive agreement by the end of 2008.
