Palestinians End Talks In Cairo Without Deal

Advertisements [?]

CAIRO (Reuters) - Rival Palestinian factions ended talks in the Egyptian capital Monday without bridging internal rifts that have undermined prospects for peace negotiations with Israel, participants said.

Egypt's intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, who has mediated for nearly a year now without visible success, had expressed frustration at the continuing impasse, they added.

"He told negotiators the world was not going to wait forever for them to unite and that as long as the Palestinians did not end their differences, the Palestinian cause and the peace process could be hampered," a Palestinian official told Reuters.
