 WASHINGTON (JTA) — President Obama will meet with Jordanian King Abdullah to discuss renewed Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

“The President looks forward to discussing a broad range of bilateral and regional economic and security issues during their Oval Office meeting, including King Abdullah’s leadership in advancing our shared goal of a negotiated peace between Israel and the Palestinians,” a statement said Tuesday.

The meeting will take place Jan. 17.  

Israeli and Palestinian negotiators met in Jordan Tuesday for the second time in a week.

The talks, relaunched at King Abdullah’s behest, have yet to produce results. Neither side would discuss the talks on the record.
