US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have agreed after hours of discussions to seek the resumption of direct Middle East peace talks.

Mrs Clinton and Mr Netanyahu said their meeting had focused on negotiations

The meeting focused on resuming negotiations to produce "a two-state solution", they said in a statement.

The two met in New York amid a row over Israeli plans to build new homes for Jewish settlers in East Jerusalem.

The Palestinians have left negotiations over the new settlement construction.

Mrs Clinton and Mr Netanyahu's meeting "focused on creating the conditions for the resumption（恢复） of direct negotiations aimed at producing a two-state solution", their joint² statement said.

"Their teams will work closely together in the coming days toward that end."

Mrs Clinton also assured Mr Netanyahu that Israel's security requirements would be "fully³ taken into account" in any future peace deal with the Palestinians.

But after more than seven hours of talks, the two gave no indication as to how they intended to break the impasse⁴（僵局，死路） over Jewish settlement building.

Disputed land

An Israeli moratorium⁵（暂停，中止） on building new settlements expired（期满） at the end of September. Earlier this month, Israel announced plans to build 1,300 new homes for Jewish settlers on disputed land in East Jerusalem.

The Palestinians have said they will not return to the negotiating table until new settlement construction halts.

The US has said the settlements are unhelpful and has urged the two sides to restart negotiations.

Negotiations, launched with what correspondents described as great pomp（盛况，壮丽） by President Barack Obama in early September, ran aground（搁浅的） after just two rounds of talks.

Earlier on Thursday, speaking in Ramallah at an event to mark the anniversary of the death of Yasser Arafat, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas asked Israelis to choose peace over settlements.

"I now turn to the Israeli people. I hope they will hear us - those who believe in peace, if they exist," Mr Abbas said.

The US announced a new $150m (£93m) aid package on Wednesday for the Palestinian Authority.
