Netanyahu rejects French peace conference

jerusalem - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has informed the French foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault know that Israel feels nothing for his initiative for an international peace conference in the autumn. He fears that France will set the conditions for an agreement. The Palestinians are inclined to respond to the invitation.

,, I Ayrault told that the only way to get true peace between us and the Palestinians is through direct negotiations by both of us, without preconditions, '' Netanyahu said Sunday after his meeting with the French minister. He repeated it the formal response to last month, when the plan was launched. France hopes that the foundation can be laid for serious peace talks, after earlier attempts by the United States had failed in 2014 at an international meeting.
