Netanyahu: 'French Palestinian initiative only distances peace prsopects'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Monday morning with Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders during which the two discussed diplomatic relations between their respective countries. Reynders expressed his gratitude for Netanyahu's willingness to assist his country in the aftermath of the Brussels terror attack.

They also discussed the threat of radical Islam in the area and in Europe.

The prime minister emphasized that the French peace initiatives enable the Palestinians to avoid direct negotiations and therefore distance prospects of peace.
