Olmert and Abbas failed to agree on a key issue - a prisoner swap - but decided to set up a committee to study it further.

Erekat and Olmert spokeswoman Miri Eisin said the Israeli leader agreed to transfer $100 million in frozen tax rebates and other Palestinian funds to Abbas' control, giving the Palestinian leader an important achievement. Eisin said Israel plans to transfer the money soon, but that it wants to make sure the funds do not reach Hamas, which has refused Western demands to recognize Israel and end violence.
In addition, Israel will transfer about $7.25 million to Palestinian-run hospitals in Jerusalem, Erekat said.
