JERUSALEM, Feb 11 (Reuters) - A U.S.-brokered summit between Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will go ahead as planned on Feb. 19, a senior Israeli official said on Sunday.

A Palestinian unity government deal last Thursday that failed to meet the demands of the United States and other Middle East peace mediators had raised speculation in Israel that the trilateral meeting would not be held.
