"We reiterated to the Israelis that the deadline to submit their views on the 1967 borders and security is January 26, and that they have to stop settlement activity by that date," said the same source.
The date was set by the diplomatic Quartet of the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia for both parties to present their proposals on borders and security with an eye to resuming direct talks shortly afterwards.
A senior Israeli official also confirmed Monday's talks were held, without elaborating.
The first round of the talks were held in Amman on Tuesday last week between Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat and Israeli envoy Yitzhak Molcho. Those talks were described as positive.
A Jordanian foreign ministry spokesman said in Amman that the talks were "clear and frank in spite of the divergent positions," adding that Erakat and Molcho represented the two sides at Monday's meeting.
He said the talks were held in the presence of Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh.
