A Jerusalem Post article from January 24, 2018 reported that John Kerry had visited with Palestinian officials.
The article, by Ben Caspit, was titled: "KERRY TO ABBAS CONFIDANTE: 'STAY STRONG AND DO NOT GIVE IN TO TRUMP'". The article mentioned how John Kerry "... said that within a year there was a good chance that Trump would not be in the White House."
Here is an interesting excerpt from the Jerusalem Post article:
'While the White House has confirmed that since the Jerusalem Declaration there has been a complete disconnect between the Palestinian Authority and the Trump administration, it turns out that the previous administration has maintained contact with PA officials.
...
'During the conversation, according to the report, Kerry asked Agha to convey a message to Abbas and ask him to “hold on and be strong.” Tell him, he told Agha, “that he should stay strong in his spirit and play for time, that he will not break and will not yield to President [Donald] Trump’s demands."
