US Secretary of State John Kerry has said that the United State will provide an additional $75 million in aid to create Palestinian jobs and help them improve roads, schools and other infrastructure.
US officials say the aid is intended to boost Palestinian public support for faltering peace talks with Israel by showing them tangible benefits from the process. Kerry announced the aid on Wednesday in Bethlehem. Kerry met the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem earlier on Wednesday.
