US plans Middle East peace push after 'cooling off' over Jerusalem

The White House is to renew efforts to reach an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, officials said Friday, despite outrage over President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.Senior administration officials said efforts to push the process forward will be rekindled as soon as next week, in the hope that anger at Trump's move will subside.Trump on December 6 announced a break with decades of American policy, effectively ignoring Palestinian claims on the Holy City.
