Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met on Sunday evening in Jerusalem for their second summit in less than a month, Israel Radio reported.

During the meeting, which was scheduled to last for two hours, the two leaders were expected to discuss the diplomatic developments following a Mecca agreement between Palestinian groups Fatah and Hamas to form a national unity government in the Palestinian territories, said the report.

Olmert was reported to raise two main issues: the Qassam rockets fired at Israel by Palestinian militants and the weapon smuggled into the Gaza Strip through the Egyptian border.

On Saturday, chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat revealed that among the essential issues that would be discussed in the meeting are "reinforcing the truce between Israel and the Palestinians, closing the file of wanted Palestinians to Israel and freeing the tax revenues."

The meeting is the second of its kind in a month. Abbas and Olmert met on Feb. 19 in a three-party meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice which failed to achieve significant headway in stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

Earlier, Olmert said his future meetings with Abbas might be held in the Palestinian territories.
