[Ha'aretz] Barak Ravid and Natasha Mozgovaya - Sources at the Prime Minister's Bureau as well as the Obama administration stress that it is unlikely that the meeting of Obama, Netanyahu and Abbas Tuesday at the UN will result in a resumption of negotiations. The sources acknowledged that the meeting is expected to be only a photo opportunity. "The differences on the issue of the settlements and the framework of the talks remain deep," the sources said. Senior officials at the U.S. administration offered similar comments. Prime Minister Netanyahu will address the UN General Assembly on Thursday, where his speech will focus on the need for international action in order to stop Iran's nuclear program.
