The Palestinian Authority has rejected an Israeli proposal for direct talks in Paris.
“Time is short,” PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah said, at his meeting with French Prime Minister Manuel Valls in Ramallah on Monday.
“[Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu is trying to buy time … but this time he will not escape the international community.”
Valls told Netanyahu, however, that he would welcome the idea of direct negotiations and would discuss the matter with French President Francois Hollande.
