WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Thursday she looked forward to working with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in "any new capacity" after Abbas said he would not run again for president in January.
Clinton met Abbas last weekend and she said they discussed his political future. She did not offer any details.
"He reiterated his personal commitment to do whatever he can to achieve a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict ... I look forward to working with President Abbas in any new capacity," she added.
