RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - A senior Palestinian official said on Tuesday U.S. efforts to bring about indirect peace talks with Israel may fail unless Washington can guarantee a complete halt to Israeli settlement building. Nabil Abu Rdainah, an aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said a meeting between U.S. President Barack Obama and Netanyahu in Washington later on Tuesday must yield an "Israeli commitment and American guarantees to freeze settlement." div class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.reuters.com/~ff/reuters/worldNews?a=mbg8pLAIqzQ:IwQ5BgY84Q4:yIl2AUoC8zA" img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/reuters/worldNews?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0" /img /a a href="http://feeds.reuters.com/~ff/reuters/worldNews?a=mbg8pLAIqzQ:IwQ5BgY84Q4:F7zBnMyn0Lo" img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/reuters/worldNews?i=mbg8pLAIqzQ:IwQ5BgY84Q4:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0" /img /a a href="http://feeds.reuters.com/~ff/reuters/worldNews?a=mbg8pLAIqzQ:IwQ5BgY84Q4:V_sGLiPBpWU" img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/reuters/worldNews?i=mbg8pLAIqzQ:IwQ5BgY84Q4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0" /img /a /div img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/reuters/worldNews/~4/mbg8pLAIqzQ" height="1" width="1"/
