(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency)  US Secretary of State John Kerry said Saturday that he will, next week, discuss with European leaders draft resolutions to the UN Security Council on recognition of a Palestinian state and a two-year deadline for ending Israel's occupation of the West Bank.

Kerry said during a visit to Columbia that a discussion was underway on proposals to stop further tension in the conflict in the Middle East.
