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.
