Mahmoud Abbas said in Paris on Monday that he will consult with the 22-member Arab League next Monday on how to proceed.
Abbas has repeatedly said Palestinians would quit newly relaunched peace talks if Israel resumes settlement activity. A 10-month slowdown on construction expired at midnight, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will not renew the order.
Monday's comments signaled the Palestinians are giving US mediators more time to reach a compromise.
