Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert held their latest summit with no sign of progress, and officials on both sides warned that stalling the talks could endanger prospects for a treaty and foster more violence.

Erekat said Abbas raised concerns about Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip and pushed for the release of Palestinian prisoners.
