US envoy to UN tells Abbas that US negotiators ready to talk
UNITED NATIONS - US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday, during a UN Security Council Middle East meeting, that U.S. negotiators were "ready to talk, but we will not chase after you."
US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, and US Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt sat behind Haley at the Security Council meeting. Kushner and Greenblatt are working on a new Middle East peace plan.
Abbas did not stay in the council chamber for Haley's remarks.
