Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat revealed that he will hold talks on Sunday night with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Qatar.
"I will meet with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Doha, Qatar to receive U.S. answers to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas questions related to holding indirect peace talks with Israel," Erekat told Xinhua on telephone from Qatar.
He added that he is expected to hear from Clinton the answers to some questions Abbas asked U.S. peace envoy George Mitchell during their meeting in Ramallah two weeks ago, who proposed resuming indirect peace talks with Israel.
Clinton arrived in Qatar on Sunday as part of her tour that would also include Saudi Arabia. Clinton will address a speech at the forum of American and the Islamic World held in Doha.
However, Erekat played down the expectation of his meeting with Clinton, adding "We should not expect too much from the meeting and receiving U.S. answers to our questions."
