Abbas Calls Paris Conference ‘Last Chance’ to Resolve Conflict With Israel

The upcoming conference in Paris on the settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be the last chance to resolve the dispute, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday.


On Sunday, Paris is going to host the conference on the settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel refused to take part in the event, saying that it preferred to hold bilateral talks directly with the Palestinian side. "The Paris conference may be the last chance for the two states to achieve the solution," Abbas told Le Figaro newspaper.

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict will be also discussed at the bilateral meeting with French President Francois Hollande, Abbas added.
