WASHINGTON, May 6 (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State John

Kerry will meet Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, who has

special responsibility for the Israeli-Palestinian peace

process, in Rome on Wednesday, the U.S. State Department said on

Monday.

Kerry will also meet Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh

in Rome. The meetings are part of Kerry’s effort to find a way

to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, which fell

apart in 2010 in a dispute over Israel’s construction of Jewish

settlements on West Bank land the Palestinians want for a state.
