According to the report, Kerry will also meet with senior level Jordanian officials. Jordanian officials stated that it is unclear whether he will come to visit Israel, but noted that there might be a chance depending on the results of the visit with Abu Mazen.

Last night, during a speech that dealt with the establishment of a new Palestinian government, Abu Mazen stated that the Palestinian Authority is ready to resume negotiations for nine months provided that Israel releases more Palestinian terrorists, stops building over the green line, and within the first three months of talks, will focus on discussing borders. “If Israel will decide on punitive measures because of the unity government like not transferring to us tax money, we will respond,” Abu Mazen warned.

Meanwhile, Hamas has announced that they will not agree to the continuation of security cooperation with Israel once the unity government is established, the Times of Israel reported. Hamas has also reaffirmed that they will remain committed to “resistance in all its forms” until “Palestine becomes free,” despite the establishment of a unity government. So far, Hamas has not stated that they are willing to recognize Israel’s right to exist under any borders.
