Zionist Bibi slams France for ‘baffling’ peace proposal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has once again expressed frustration with a French initiative to revive talks between Israelis and Palestinians, describing the push as “baffling.”

Netanyahu’s Tuesday comments came days after former French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Paris is planning to hold an international conference to bring together the Israeli and Palestinian sides as well as the US and some European and Arab states.

The French official emphasized that Paris would recognize a Palestinian state if efforts to find a solution to the conflict failed.
