Netanyahu Paris Conference, "a Palestinian Bluff Sponsored By France"







                         
1. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the peace conference to be held in Paris next Sunday is nothing but a Palestinian trick sponsored by France aimed at adopting anti-Israel stances.
Netanyahu felt during a meeting with Norwegian Foreign Minister Brende Bourget in Jerusalem that the conference would restore peace to the wheel, and there would be no need for Israel.
"The matter is subject to the tampering conference, which the Palestinians manipulated under the auspices of the French to take more anti-Israel stances, and this pushes peace back."
Tzipi Hotovila, an Israeli assistant foreign minister, yesterday helped her country strongly reject the French initiative, describing "an illusion of great harm."
He stressed during a press conference that the only way to peace is through direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, pointing out that the Paris conference is the potential for peace, saying that "the only country under pressure is Israel."
Earlier yesterday, an Israeli official reiterated - Kamel revealed his identification because the French had refused to accept Netanyahu's invitation to come to Paris, and report the results of the conference after its completion, and it was a similar invitation to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, he said. Accepted.
On the other hand, Nabil Abu Rudeina, spokesman for the Palestinian presidency, stressed that the Paris conference is an important opportunity to emphasize the two-state solution and the illegality of settlements, noting that the entire international community will be present at this conference.
Seventy countries are to participate in the Paris conference, in an attempt to revive the stalled peace efforts between the Palestinians and Israelis.
Israel condemns the French initiative launched since Paris in January 2016, in an attempt to save the two-state solution, while responding with the Palestinians .


2.Israel insists on rejecting the French initiative:





  Israel insists on France refusing to seek an international conference in Paris before the end of this year to relaunch the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations initiative, believing that the conference will divert attention from direct negotiations between the two sides.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Tel Aviv informed French envoy Pierre Vimont of his refusal during a meeting in Jerusalem on Monday with two Israeli officials.
There was no immediate comment from Vimont, but the French Foreign Ministry said it was still planning to hold a conference before the end of the year.
France tried again and again this year to revive the peace process, and a preliminary conference was held last June bringing together the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and a number of Arab countries to discuss the proposals without the presence of Israelis or Palestinians. .
A follow-up conference was scheduled to take place before the end of the year, in the presence of Israelis and Palestinians, to see whether it was possible to bring the two sides back to the negotiating table, knowing that the last round of UN-sponsored talks ended in failure in April / April 2014.
A divergent position Since the French initiative was launched at the beginning of the year, Israel has not stopped announcing its opposition, while the Palestinian Authority has expressed its approval, and it is expected to receive its President, Mahmoud Abbas, French envoy, Pierre Vimont, Monday from Israel.
Israel - which the United States has considered the main mediator in the Middle East - says that direct negotiations with the Palestinians are the only ones that can lead to peace and considers France's efforts a distraction, and also says that an international conference will give the Palestinian leader a platform of people instead of entering directly into negotiations With Israel.
Palestinians say they cannot resume peace talks with Israel until construction in the settlements in the occupied territories is stopped and the previous obligations, including the release of prisoners, are ful filled.
The talks probably stalled, despite two attempts to resolve the conflict in the Americas during President Barack Obama's rule over issues such as settlements and Palestinian political divisions.
According to Reuters, most of the so-called "final status" issues are clear to both sides, but critics say there is little chance of a breakthrough without real US pressure on Israel to stop building in settlements and without overcoming internal Palestinian divisions between Hamas and Fatah.
Reuters quoted analysts that the two-state solution is now out of reach because it shows no signs of Israel's willingness to end the nearly 50-year occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians want as the capital of their state.
