U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met in Amman, Jordan on Sunday, to discuss the moves the Palestinians are planning to make in the international arena against the Israeli occupation.
According to Abbas' spokesman, the Palestinian president urged Kerry to support the Palestinian bid for the UN Security Council to condemn the Israeli settlements in the West Bank, as well as to back the French initiative for an international peace conference.
Spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina didn't give any details about Kerry's response to Abbas' appeal, but noted that the secretary of state said that the American administration is continuing in its efforts to save the two-state solution and to restore stability to the area.
