Kerry will meet with Jordan's King Abdullah on his latest trip to the region that he has visited more than a dozen times since becoming the top U.S. diplomat in early 2013. The Israeli-Palestinian peace process has been one of Kerry's top priorities, and a year ago the two sides were in the middle of renewed negotiations that he helped broker after a three-year break. But their relationship has taken dramatic steps backward this year with the end of the talks in April, a 50-day war in July and August and numerous recent clashes at a key religious site in Jerusalem. From Jordan, Kerry will travel Friday to the United Arab Emirates for a peace and security forum and separate talks with other officials and leaders there. *VOA
