Clinton convenes second round of Mideast talks Israeli and Palestinian leaders met at a Red Sea resort Tuesday for their second round of direct talks, tackling for the first time some of the toughest "core issues" dividing the parties as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton scrambled to keep the talks from collapsing over the issue of renewed Israeli settlement construction.
