Both leaders have agreed in principle to a summit, Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday, but it gave no date. Abbas is a founding member of Fatah, the dominant faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the main Palestinian nationalist movement. The documents cited by Remez did not give any indication of what role Abbas may have played for the KGB or the duration of his purported service as an agent. The official said any suggestion that the president was a spy was "absolutely absurd". Bogdanov was in the area this week for meetings with Israeli and Palestinian officials.
