Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who met Mr Cheney at the Palestinian Authority's Muqata headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah, said Israeli settlement expansion, military checkpoints and raids were blocking progress towards peace. The two convened shortly after the Palestinian leader's Fatah faction and its Hamas Islamist rival signed a reconciliation deal vowing to revive direct talks.
