In a visit to the West Bank on Monday Rice also said the United States will provide more than $40 million in aid to the Palestinians during the next three months.
Rice, at a news conference in Ramallah with Abbas, called the aid package a "quick action program" that would have an "immediate positive impact."
She said the money would be used to create jobs and improve infrastructure.

"Rice said the $40 million in aid is part of the $350 million that Bush pledged during his State of the Union address.
According to the State Department, the aid will be from money set aside earlier for a seawater desalinization plant in Gaza. The money will not go directly to the Palestinian Authority (search), but will be channeled through private relief and economic groups."
