France to hold Mideast summit on January 15
France says it will hold its delayed summit on Middle East peace on January 15, Reuters reports.
“France is still determined to hold a conference in Paris to reaffirm the necessity of a two-state solution,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault says, according to Reuters. “January 15 is the date that has been fixed and 70 countries are invited. We are not going to give up now.”
The French government will invite Israeli and Palestinian leaders to hold a separate meeting at the end of the summit, Reuters says.
