( AP ) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Jerusalem on Tuesday, Israeli officials said.
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said aides would hold a preparatory session Monday.
Olmert and Abbas have been meeting regularly in recent months. Their last summit was earlier this month in the West Bank town of Jericho, the first time they met outside Israel.
The meetings are meant as a boost to Abbas, who is in a power struggle with the militant Islamic Hamas, which has taken over Gaza and threatens his position in the West Bank. So far there have been few concrete results.
Palestinians want talks on issues that could lead to a peace treaty, but Israel prefers to limit the discussions to general principles and day-to-day matters because of the internal Palestinian political turmoil.
In Gaza, Israel allowed 75 Palestinians with foreign work and study permits to leave.
More than 4,000 Palestinians have worried about losing badly needed jobs and academic credits after Israel and Egypt closed the territory following Hamas' takeover.
Several hundred foreign nationals and Palestinians with dual citizenship, as well as a few Palestinians working and studying abroad, had already been permitted to cross through Israeli territory en route to other points.
