Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas meets Jordan's King Abdullah II

 
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met Jordan's King Abdullah II on Wednesday to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

The king received Abbas at the Al-Hashmiya Palace in Amman.

In recent weeks, US Secretary of State John Kerry has stepped up his involvement in the negotiations, shuttling between Israeli and Palestinian leaders to mediate a proposed framework.

Kerry has been trying to nudge Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu closer to a peace pact that would establish a Palestinian state alongside Israel.

The Palestinians want a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, lands Israel captured in 1967, but are ready to accept some modifications that would enable Israel to keep some of its settlements.

Netanyahu has so far refused to accept the 1967 frontier as a baseline for negotiations or consider a partition of Jerusalem - at least in public.
