On Friday 29th January, France issued an ultimatum to Israel, saying it will recognise a Palestinian state if a renewed push for a two-state solution fails. The French foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, announced that France will convene an international peace summit to renew diplomatic efforts by Israel and the Palestinians and has threatened that if diplomacy failed, France would formally recognise a Palestinian State.
