http://l3.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/L7...10f68013dd.jpgUS President Barack Obama and Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas held "long" and "difficult" talks on the Middle East peace process and ** document was presented by the US side, the chief Palestinian negotiator said Tuesday. Abbas was welcomed to the White House on Monday by Obama, who said both the Palestinians and the Israelis needed "to take some tough political decisions and risks if we're able to move it forward." The two men met as an April deadline looms for reaching a full peace treaty set when the talks resumed in late July. "Contrary to what people expected -- that we will come out of this meeting with an official American proposal document -- this has **t happened." US Secretary of State John Kerry, who persuaded the two sides to come back to the talks after a three-year hiatus, is drawing up an agreed framework due to set out the guidelines for negotiations going forward. But US officials confirmed late Monday that ** document had yet been presented to the Palestinians.
