Olmert and Abbas discuss core issues of contention

Excerpt:
"Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel and Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, discussed the core issues of contention between their peoples at a meeting here Tuesday, but it was unclear how detailed their talks had been.

The core issues are the final borders of the two states, the status of Jerusalem and the Old City and a solution to the problem of Palestinian refugees.

The meeting took place at Olmert's official residence here, after a previous meeting three weeks ago in the West Bank city of Jericho."
