AMMAN: The United States’s work on a new Middle East peace plan is “fairly well advanced”, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Wednesday, though he provided no details on an initiative which comes amid deep Palestinian scepticism about US intentions. Tillerson, who was speaking during a visit to Jordan to sign a five-year $6.4 billion aid package that extends United States support to a key Arab ally, said President Donald Trump would decide when to announce the peace plan.
