JERUSALEM — Israel has offered to give up more of the West Bank than in a previous proposal but not enough to meet Palestinian demands, Palestinian officials close to peace talks said Sunday.
Also Sunday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was quoted as telling backers that the talks have achieved no progress since they were restarted in November.
Israel wants to keep its main settlement areas on the West Bank, offering land inside Israel to Palestinians in exchange. The land would be between Hebron, in the southern West Bank, and Gaza — at least part of a route through Israel to link the two territories.
