The Israeli and Palestinian leaders have agreed to hold what could be their last meeting before Prime Minister Ehud Olmert leaves office.
Officials from both sides say Olmert and Abbas plan to hold their talks in Jerusalem on Tuesday night.
The summit comes on the eve of elections for Olmert's Kadima party. Olmert is expected to resign soon after the vote. Although he will remain in office for a brief caretaker period, it is unclear whether he will continue with peace talks during that time.
Since last year, Olmert and Abbas have been meeting on a regular basis to try to reach a final peace agreement between the two sides. Olmert said Monday that he believes it's still possible to work out a deal before the end of the year.
