Israel-Palestine: Abbas "We Are Considering the US Proposal" For Talks 

Following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to release hundreds of Fatah prisoners as part of an efforts to jump-start peace talks, the Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas said on Saturday that he was considering the U.S. proposal to start indirect talks with Israel.

Abbas also added that there was no pressure from the Arab states to restart negotiations, and he reiterated the need for a complete freeze in the building of settlements as a pre-condition for the talks.
