Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Thursday that the Palestinian side was not asked to extend the current US-mediated peace talks with Israel beyond the nine-month deadline.

After meeting with visiting British Prime Minster David Cameron in the West Bank city of Bethlehem, Abbas said that the peace talks are set to last for nine months and will end in April. He hoped that tangible results can be made.

Commenting on the US framework peace plan, the Palestinian president said he has not received any proposals from the United States on this regard.

"I expect the United States would present the plan in the near future and we will examine it to give our final word," Abbas said.

Earlier on Tuesday Abbas announced that he would not accept to extend the peace negotiations with Israel, adding that negotiators need to focus on the remaining time.

Abbas and US President Barack Obama will meet next week in Washington to discuss the US efforts to get the Palestinians and Israel to agree on a framework plan for peace.

The Palestinian-Israeli peace negotiations have not seen any tangible progress since it resumed in last July.

The US peace plan tackles final status issues, including the future Palestinian state's borders, Palestinian refugees, security and the contested status of Jerusalem, which both Israelis and Palestinians claim as their capital.
