ISLAMABAD -The State Department says U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will meet Israeli and Palestinian leaders over the weekend to push ahead with efforts to restart stalled peace talks.
Spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters accompanying Clinton on a trip to Pakistan that the secretary would see Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas separately at locations in the Mideast that have yet to be determined.
Crowley said the meetings were aimed at trying to resume negotiations and would take place ahead of previously planned meetings Clinton has scheduled with Arab foreign ministers in Morocco.
