           Israelis, Palestinians to Meet in Attempt to Salvage Talks

   by VOA News

   Israeli and Palestinian negotiators are meeting again Monday as they
   try to salvage their faltering peace talks.
   The United States, trying to mediate a peace accord in the decades-long
   Mideast dispute, said the two sides held "serious and constructive"
   talks Sunday and both sides asked American officials to convene another
   meeting.
   The United States said the two sides were looking for ways to overcome
   what it described as "the crisis in the talks."
   The American efforts to extend the peace talks past a late April
   deadline stalled last week after Israel balked at carrying out a
   planned prisoner release and the Palestinians revived a controversial
   bid for U.N. recognition as the "state of Palestine."
   With the talks deadlocked, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry voiced
   his impatience at both sides, saying the United States would
   re-evaluate its mediator role.
