  • Story Text: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry held talks with the Palestinian leadership in the West Bank city of Ramallah on Sunday (April 7).
    On his arrival at the Palestinian presidential compound, Kerry was welcomed by senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat.
    He then held a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
    Kerry's return to Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy comes just two weeks after U.S. President Barack Obama's first visit to the region.
    Like Obama before him, Kerry is not expected to bring any new initiative to revive Middle East peace talks, which broke down in 2010.
