French FM: We won't rule out recognizing Palestinian state
None
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said his country would not rule out the possibility of recognizing a Palestinian state in the Un Security Council if there is no progress in the peace talks.
In an interview with the Palestinian newspaper al-Ayyam, Kouchner said a Palestinian state was a guarantee for a future of peace, but it would be better if negotiations were held before a state were declared. (AFP)
