US Secretary of State John Kerry is to meet Israeli and Palestinian leaders this week amid a surge in violence, BBC reports.
"Later this week I will meet with [Israeli] Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu because he will be in Germany... and then I will go to the region, I will meet with [Palestinian] President [Mahmoud] Abbas, I will meet King Abdullah [of Jordan] and others," Mr Kerry said at the UN cultural body Unesco's headquarters in Paris.
Previously, it was informed Israel and the US resumed talks in Jerusalem on future military aid that Netanyahu suspended in protest over the nuclear deal the US and other world powers have agreed with Iran.
