Mid East peace talks in doubt over housing

Ramallah, 11 March-(ANA)-The Palestinian Authority has said indirect talks with Israel will be "very difficult" if more homes are built on occupied land as planned.

Israel announced the plan for 1,600 more homes in occupied East Jerusalem shortly before a peace process visit by US Vice-President Joe Biden.

Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erakat said they had "demanded that the Americans help us revoke this order."

The indirect talks were to be the first steps in resuming stalled peace talks.

President Mahmoud Abbas had notified the Arab League secretary-general Amr Moussa and Mr Biden of his difficulties with the talks and settlements, Mr Erakat said. (ANA)
