       RAMALLAH, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- Israeli and Palestinian peace negotiation(谈判) teams are to hold a new round of talks on Tuesday, according to Israel Radio, without specifying¹ the venue² of the meeting.

　　The radio quoted well-informed Israeli sources as saying that the new round of peace talks will be held between the chiefs of the two negotiations³ teams -- Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and Israeli Minister of Justice Tzipi Livni.

　　The sources said that the Tuesday meeting will be a continuation to a meeting held on Saturday in Jerusalem. The two teams refrained from giving press statements to reporters.

　　Meanwhile, well-informed Palestinian sources closed to the negotiations told Xinhua that the two sides agreed to intensify⁴ their talks by holding at least two meetings every week. The understanding was made upon a U.S. request in condition to be away from the mass media.

　　Earlier on Sunday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said in a meeting with his Fatah Party's Revolutionary Council that he only agreed to resume the talks with Israel after he got the U.S. guarantees.
