JERUSALEM (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry extended his Middle East peace mission on Saturday, shuttling between Jerusalem and Amman for more talks with Palestinian and Israeli leaders on reviving their stalled negotiations.

Cancelling a scheduled trip to Abu Dhabi, Kerry flew from Jerusalem to the Jordanian capital Amman for yet another meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. He returned later via Tel Aviv to see Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the third time.
