Danny Danon, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, said on Sunday that the Paris conference on Middle East peace "is so detached from reality that it has extended a hand towards Palestinian obstructionism instead of towards peace." He explained, "Rather than advancing a joint effort to battle global terrorism, the conference focused obsessively on Israel as part of an attempt to push forward a last minute initiative just days before the new US administration takes office."
Danon concluded, "In the next few weeks we will enter a new era and work with the incoming US administration to undo the damage caused by the Security Council resolution and these other one-sided initiatives."
