Some 70 countries, including key European and Arab states as well as the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, were in Paris for a meeting that Netanyahu has rejected as “futile”.
Netanyahu’s office issued a statement on Sunday saying that “Kerry called Netanyahu to tell him about the moves the U.S. was taking at the conference to soften the wording of the Paris communique.”
It added that the Israeli leader had replied by saying that “Israel had already suffered damage after the U.S. did not veto a Security Council resolution (last month) and it should not be compounded.”
The statement said that Kerry committed to Netanyahu that there would be no resulting consequences to the conference, neither at the United Nations Security Council or at the conference itself and that “the U.S. would oppose any proposal that may be put forward to the Security Council.”
The fact that neither israel nor the Palestinian turned up to theconference shows that no one is really interested in peace. Not that it matters to much
his words of reassurance are “worthless” after his anti-Israel speech and the anti-Israel UN vote that the U.S. “orchestrated”.
HE SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE TO PARIS AT ALL.
FIVE MORE DAYS and he’s gone and gonna become ketchup…………………
