Kerry to travel to West Bank to meet with Abbas

RAMALLAH - US Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to the West Bank to meet with Palestinian leaders on Friday, US and Palestinian officials said, in a last-minute diplomatic flurry aimed at resuming peace talks with Israel.
"Secretary Kerry will travel to Ramallah this afternoon to meet with President Abbas," a senior State Department official said in Amman, the Jordanian capital where Kerry is at present.
"It seemed Kerry wanted to hear more from the (Palestinian Authority) president," a senior Palestinian official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
