PM Valls tells Netanyahu he will do all to combat boycotts against Israel

During a press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his French counterpart Manuel Valls, the two discussed the peace process between the Palestinians and Israelis. Valls said that he would do all within his power “to fight against attempts to boycott Israel.”

Addressing the renewal of negotiations, he added that “the aim is to bring the international community back for the sake of peace and a two-state solution and to create the conditions for a renewal of negotiations.”

Netanyahu rebuffed the French peace initiative and called on Mahmoud Abbas to come to Élysée Palace to speak face to face. “I am ready to clear my schedule and come to Paris tomorrow. Ok, not tomorrow, because we are expanding our government but in two days,” Netanyahu said.
