Israel gathering intelligence on Paris peace summit, Danon says (Jerusalem Post)

According to Danny Danon, the current Israel Ambassador to the UN, the upcoming weeks will be especially critical. On May 30, dozens of foreign ministers will gather in Paris for the Israeli-Palestinian peace summit, which is a preliminary event leading up to the peace summit that will take place in the summer in Paris. 

The Israelis and Palestinians have not been invited to this preliminary gathering. Danon, who fears that a political settlement will be forced upon Israel, says that we are currently in a state of emergency and so he has begun gathering intelligence. From his point of view, each country that Israel succeeds in preventing from attending the conference will be considered an achievement...

...Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, on the other hand, has already clearly announced Israel's stance, and a few hours before the Passover holiday began, the Prime Minister's Office released a strongly-worded statement about the upcoming session: "Israel adheres to the position that the best solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is direct, bilateral negotiations. Israel is ready and willing to enter into immediate direct negotiations with the Palestinians without preconditions. All other initiatives push the Palestinians further away from the negotiating table and direct negotiations."
