Israelis, Palestinians to Meet With U.S. Official
U.S. envoy David Satterfield has arranged a three-way meeting today with Israeli and Palestinian officials to try to break the impasse over the terms of a summit aimed at reviving peace talks.
Meanwhile, violence continued as Palestinians fired mortar shells at Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip, and Israeli troops killed a suspected Islamic militant in the West Bank.
In other developments, Israel charged Jamal Akkal, 23, a Gaza-born Canadian citizen, with planning to attack Israeli officials traveling in the U.S. and bomb North American Jewish interests. He was arrested in Gaza on Nov. 1.
