Kerry still seeks resumption of PA-Israel talks

US Secretary of State John Kerry is said to be aiming to call for a yet another resumption of the collapsed talks between the Palestinian Authority and the Zionist regime of Israel.

Kerry aims to retable the issue on Sunday when he attends an international conference in Cairo on rebuilding Gaza, Ynetnews quoted American officials as saying.

The top US diplomat and 30 of his counterparts convene in the Egyptian capital alongside UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who is seeking $1.6 billion in aid to rebuild the battered Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian government last week unveiled a 76-page reconstruction plan for Gaza, calling for $4 billion to rebuild the war-battered territory, with the largest amount going to build housing for some 100,000 left homeless.

Kerry will meet with PA head Mahmud Abbas on the sidelines of the conference, having last met at the UN General Assembly in September, State Department officials said.
