French FM wraps up peace conference

French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault wraps up the Paris peace conference, telling reporters that the purpose of the conference was to convey a sense of urgency about the threat to the two-state solution.

He urges all sides to refrain from unilateral actions that could inflame the situation: “Running the risk of making this conflict worse would be giving a gift to extremists.”

He adds that December’s UN Security Council Resolution 2334 was an expression of the world’s voice on the issue.
