Envoys of the Mideast Quartet, grouping the United States, the UN, European Union and Russia, wrapped up their meeting on Tuesday after three-hour talks, but did not issue any statement, a UN spokesman said.
Brenden Varma, a UN spokesman in Jerusalem, told Xinhua that there was no press release or statement issued after the Quartet envoy meeting.
Before the meeting, he said that the envoys had no set agenda and would discuss recent developments and the way forward.
Meanwhile, local Ha'aretz reported that participants left without speaking to the press, and that details on the talks weren't immediately available.
The envoys, however, were expected to issue a statement later in the day, the report said.
Earlier, British press said that the meeting was likely to name outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair as special Mideast envoy.
"Blair's appointment has been 150 percent approved," the Financial Times quoted a figure close to negotiations over Blair's new role as saying.
"The Jerusalem meeting is all about arranging logistics, making final arrangements and getting the announcement out," said the daily.
The Quartet has been a major mediator between the Palestinians and Israel.
Tuesday's meeting will be the first of its kind since Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip on June 14 after days of deadly infighting with its rival Fatah movement led by President Mahmoud Abbas.
As a result, the geographically-divided Palestinian territories has been politically split into two parts -- with Hamas controlling Gaza and Fatah holding the West Bank.
