A meeting scheduled between Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, and Khalid Meshaal, head of the ruling Hamas party, has been postponed, according to a senior Palestinian official.
The two were to meet on Saturday in the Syrian capital Damascus. But the Palestinian official said "there will be no meeting today".
"There are difficulties facing such a meeting and there are current mediations to try and resolve the problems," the Palestinian official said, without giving further details.
The official said it was possible that the meeting would be held Sunday.
