Pierre Vimont, the French Foreign Ministry envoy “for the preparation of the international conference to renew the Middle East peace process,” will arrive in Israel on Sunday for two days of meetings with officials in Ramallah and Tel Aviv.

The summit is scheduled to take place in June or July, despite Israeli complaints that peace negotiations should take the form of direct talks.
