A top Israeli official on Friday reiterated the country's opposition to a French attempt to resurrect the peace process with the Palestinians, ahead of a visit by France's Foreign Minister, AFP reports.
Paris will hold an international ministerial meeting on May 30 to try to revive peace talks that have been frozen since a US-brokered initiative collapsed in April 2014.
The Israelis and Palestinians will not be invited to the meeting, which is aimed at discussing ways in which international players can encourage peace.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault is scheduled to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday in Jerusalem before traveling to Ramallah to meet Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas.
