Netanyah meets Macron, disagrees with Jerusalem

Netanyahu is in Paris, for tomorrow there will be a meeting with the European Union foreign ministers shortly after United States President Donald Trump made a decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Condemning all terrorist acts against Israel, Macron has said he has shown Netanyahu that he opposes President Trump's decision, naming it, <x0 dangerous threat to peace”.

European states and many other countries have criticised President Trump's administration's decision.

Some countries have agreed that Jerusalem's status should be part of future negotiations.

Netanyahu has responded to Macroni, saying that once Palestinians recognize “reality” that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, peace efforts will be easier.

This is the sign I offer to Abbas, to sit down and negotiate peace. This is a sign of peace. Nothing can be clearer”, he said, addressing Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas.

When asked about numerous disappointments in the region following President Trump's decision, including Turkish President Recep Tayip Erdogan's grave criticism, Netanyahu has said he refuses to take moral lectures from the Turkish leader.

Many Arab countries know that Israel is not their enemy, but their necessary ally, “, he said.

The states in the region still have no formal relations with us. These may grow, but this does not mean that there will be formal peace without any development with Palestinians”.

He has said he has sought to have close ties with Arab countries to isolate extremists and fight Iran.
