Tourism Minister Yariv Levin has criticized Sunday's Paris Middle East peace conference as "a miserable show of hypocrisy and total lack of understanding of reality."
The Likud lawmaker explained, "Instead of fighting terrorism conference participants are trying to hide their failures behind a statement that will only strengthen the extremists and distance any chance of real political process. Israel will continue to stand firm on its vital interests, including strengthening our hold throughout the land of Israel."
