The Palestinian-Israeli meeting to be held in Jordan's capital Amman on Tuesday will only discuss the possibility of resuming the stalled peace talks, a Palestinian official said Monday.

"This does not mean the resumption of peace negotiations," chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told reporters in the West bank city of Ramallah.

Erekat expressed hope that Israel would respond to the Jordanian calls to announce the halt of settlement construction in the West Bank and Jerusalem and accept the two-state solution to give a chance for the resumption of peace talks.

Palestinian and Israeli peace negotiators are set to meet on Tuesday in Amman to discuss the possibility of reviving direct talks.

The meeting will be held under the auspices of Jordan and the international Quartet for peace in the Middle East which comprises the United States, the European Union, Russia and United Nations.

Direct U.S.-mediated peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) stopped in October 2010, four weeks after they started. The Quartet wanted Palestinians and Israelis to resume peace negotiations before the deadline of Jan. 26.

In Gaza, Islamic Hamas movement condemned the Palestinian National Authority's (PNA) approval to hold a meeting with Israeli officials.

"We urge the PNA to cancel this meeting," Hamas spokesman in Gaza Sami Abu Zuhri told Xinhua.
