RAMALLAH, June 23 (Xinhua) -- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's office said Thursday there is no meeting scheduled between Abbas and his Israeli counterpart, Reuven Rivlin, in Brussels.
The denial comes after Rivlin, when addressing the European parliament on Wednesday, said he intended to meet Abbas under the mediation of the European Union.
The Palestinian presidential spokesperson, Nabil Abu Rudeinah, denied that such a meeting was scheduled.
"The president's goal is to address the European parliament to talk about the Palestinian and Arab position regarding the upcoming political developments, particularly the international peace conference proposed by France and adopted by the EU," he said.
The latest round of peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians, brokered by the United States, lasted nine months and broke down in April 2014.
