LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Israeli and Palestinian Olympic officials have stepped up efforts to improve co-operation during a second round of talks with the IOC.

Israeli officials have promised to present their government a Palestinian proposal to help athletes and coaches overcome travel restrictions imposed on their territories.

They agreed to create a hotline for improving communications between the two national Olympic committees.

The International Olympic Committee is promising more funding to help Palestinian athletes prepare for the 2012 London Games.

Israel and the Palestinians also want entry to the 2013 Mediterranean Games being staged in Turkey.

After two meetings in Lausanne this year, future talks are likely in Ramallah and Tel Aviv.
