Palestinian FM says 'no doubt' that deadly Qalandiyah incident will have an effect on peace talks with Israel.

The Palestinian envoys to the peace talks canceled a meeting with their Israeli counterparts on Monday, according to a senior Palestinian official. The development comes in the wake of the deaths of three Palestinians from Israeli gunfire during clashes at the Qalandiyah refugee camp earlier in the day.

No confirmation of the report could be obtained from Israeli officials.
