Paris reportedly receives clear message from the elected administration in Washington that the planned summit is unacceptable at this time • Palestinians: New administration's biased position in favor of Israel will make resolving the conflict difficult.
The international peace summit seeking to
reignite the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace process, scheduled to be
held in Paris in December, will be postponed and possibly even cancelled
due to the result of the U.S. presidential elections.
The reason, according to a Sunday report in
the London-based Arabic newspaper Al-Hayat, is that the elected
administration opposes the summit, Israel's objections to it
notwithstanding.
Al-Hayat quoted senior government officials in
Paris, who said that France had received clear messages from the
elected administration in Washington saying the planned summit was
unacceptable at this time.
Senior officials in Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas' office told Israel Hayom that they had not
received any official notice about the postponement or cancellation of
the summit.
The Palestinians criticized Washington, saying that "the
clearly biased position of President-elect [Donald] Trump and his
people in favor of Israel will make it difficult to reach a solution to
the conflict."
