AMMAN: Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas briefed Jordanian King Abdullah II yesterday on Middle East peace negotiations, after US Secretary of State John Kerry failed to find a framework deal for final talks.
“The meeting with his majesty focused on exchanging views about unifying the Jordanian-Palestinian position on... Kerry’s initiative,” the palace quoted Abbas as saying after a meeting with the king, whose country has a peace treaty with Israel.
“Kerry is still providing ideas, which we are discussing. He will come again soon. We continue to meet with his aides until ideas mature and before he comes up with a framework for the agreement,” Abbas added, without elaborating.
Kerry left the region on Monday following four days of intense meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, during which he failed to broker agreement on a framework to guide the talks forward.
