KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: These meetings in Paris come as more violence hits the region, two more deaths overnight. Two Palestinian police officers are the victims. CNN's Jerusalem bureau chief Mike Hanna has the latest on the violence -- Mike.</s>MIKE HANNA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Kyra, at this particular point in the day, it does appear that there's been a lessening of intensity in the violence, there have however been sporadic outbreaks of clashes in various parts of the West Bank. On one occasion at least, Israeli forces used rubber-coated steel bullets to disperse Palestinian demonstrators. This has been happening in a number of areas. But, at this point, nothing like the intensity that has occurred in recent days. In the Gaza Strip, funerals for those who have been killed in the last few days of violence; this now a regular occurrence unfortunately within Palestinian areas. The death toll now in the region of 60 people killed. The vast majority of those killed are Palestinians. More than 1000 people have been injured. Once again, the vast majority of those injured have been Palestinians. These figures, Palestinian officials point to as evidence, they say, that the Israeli troops are acting with excessive force. From Israel's point of view, they've said that its troops are doing whatever is necessary to protect human life. But, at this particular day, we have seen a reduction in the intensity of violence, but one must stress that this is just at this point, the situation remains intensely tense. We have seen in recent days a situation being transformed in a matter of minutes from a demonstration into a massive outbreak of violence. So all eyes here still to those talks in Paris to see whether the leaders can come to some kind of agreement on ways to end the violence; that will be the first hurdle to get that agreement. The second hurdle would be to put into effect that agreement on the ground, and that's going to be a very difficult thing, indeed, Kyra.</s>PHILLIPS: Mike Hanna, with the latest from Jerusalem, thank you.
