Palestinian and Israeli delegations convene to discuss the transitional stage

Palestinian and the Israeli delegations convened in the transitional stage today in Jerusalem to discuss the Israeli delayed withdrawal which was scheduled in the West Bank on January 20.

Saeb Erekat, head of the Palestinian negotiating delegation, said he will discuss with his Israeli counterpart Oded Eran the Israeli redeployment and economic subjects.

Erekat criticized Israel's delay of its withdrawal, adding that this delay forms a violation of the agreements signed between the two sides.

At the same time, Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy asserted that Israel will implement the redeployment in the West Bank in two weeks.
