JERUSALEM, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Israeli and Palestinian leaders are "getting down to business" and tackling the main issues of the Middle East conflict, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday.

"They are getting down to business. They have begun to grapple with the core issues that can only be resolved through face to face negotiations," she said before another round of negotiations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
