JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel and the Palestinians opened their most ambitious peace negotiations in seven years on Monday, urged by U.S. President George W. Bush to reach a deal within a year despite deep public scepticism.

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said she would keep details of her talks with former Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie confidential, but later told parliament she was "prepared to make significant territorial concessions" to further Israel's interests.
