Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will meet on Sunday for their second summit in a month, Israeli media reported Friday.

 

On his part, Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the meeting "could be" Sunday, but that some details still had to be worked out between the sides.

 

Miri Eisin, a spokeswoman for Olmert, said only that plans had yet to be finalized. "It will most likely be Sunday," she said, adding that some details have yet to be finalized.

According to the AP, Olmert's aides have said the summit will focus on humanitarian issues, and that no significant political developments are expected.

 

The two leaders met last month along with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
