Palestinians have redeployed a police force in West Bank city of Ramallah.

However, for the last three years, Israel has not allowed Palestinians to carry arms in public in the West Bank.

An Israeli security official said Israel may allow Palestinian police to resume carrying arms after an upcoming senior security talks between the two sides.

Meanwhile, the authors of the unofficial Geneva Initiative for peace between Israel and the Palestinians said they were drafting "more detailed" proposals.

Yasser Abed Rabbo, a former Palestinian information minister and former Israeli justice minister Yossi Beilin held talks with some 70 delegates Saturday at a Dead Sea resort.

The meeting called on the Middle East Quartet, the United Nations, the United States, the European Union and Russia to establish an international peace-keeping force to promote Middle East peace process.

The Geneva plan envisages a Palestinian state encompassing virtually all of the West Bank and shared sovereignty over Jerusalem.
