AMMAN-Jordan's King Abdullah II held talks on Monday with visiting US Democratic Senator John Kerry on ways to resume Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, the palace said."The king and Kerry discussed efforts aimed at the resumption of negotiations between the Palestinians and Israelis," according to a brief palace statement.The king, whose country signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994, said he is "looking forward to working with US President Barak Obama to achieve a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East," it added.Kerry, who heads the Senate Foreign Relations committee, is on a regional tour that will also take him to Egypt, Israel, the Palestinian territories and Syria.The tour comes as the Obama administration works to convince the Arab world that it will ramp up US involvement in the Middle East peace process."The Palestinian cause is the main issue in the Middle East, and finding a just resolution for it is key to solving other problems in the region," the king told a US congressional delegation ahead of his meeting with Kerry, the statement said.http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090216/pl_afp/mideastusjordandiplomacy_20090216192216;_ylt=ArqIxBDEbawlIrJA72gGIRQUewgF;_ylu=X3oDMTE2bHZkcGhqBHBvcwMxBHNlYwN5bi1yLWItbGVmdARzbGsDZXYtam9yZGFua2lu
