A Palestinian delegation led by President Mahmoud Abbas has visited Cairo to meet the Arab League – a day after the bloc described the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks as being “in crisis”.<br /><br /> Tensions have escalated since Friday when a Palestinian civilian was reportedly killed by Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip.<br /><br /> On the sidelines of the talks in the Egyptian capital, euronews correspondent Mohammed Shaikhibrahim asked the Palestinians’ chief negotiator Saeb Erekat whether the April 2014 deadline would be extended.<br /><br /> “The US administration set a deadline of nine months to reach a comprehensive peace deal. We won’t allow this period to be extended, even by a minute – contrary to what some media outlets have reported,” Erekat told euronews.
