PARIS (AFP) — France accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday of prejudicing the outcome of the Middle East peace process by declaring that Jerusalem would forever be Israel's undivided capital.

"The declaration made by the Israeli prime minister yesterday in Jerusalem prejudices the final status agreement," foreign ministry spokesman Frederic Desagneaux told reporters in Paris.

Separately, President Nicolas Sarkozy's office announced that the French leader had invited Netanyahu to talks in Paris on June 3, their first meeting since the Israeli right-winger returned to office in February.

The international community does not recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital and the city's status is a stumbling block in negotiations with Palestinians, who want east Jerusalem to be the capital of their future state.

One must understand, giving away the capital city is not new for the French

This just in.

Germans demand that France cede the Parisian East Bank of the Seine based on historical claims.

Germany stated that historic geo-political and cultural ties to Paris are non-negotiable

Palestinan delegates claim all of Paris as an Islamic Holy site. Palestinian delegates base their claim on an obscure sura describing the prophet's dream journey to Les Deux Magots Cafe where he drank coffee with French existentialists, buggered Satre and vomited copious amounts of absinthe,

In 2003 I ordered Freedom fries with my hamburger, and bought a quart of Freedom Vanilla ice cream (WISH I had saved the box!).

When I deployed later that year, the messhall tent listed freedom fries on the menu for fast food night. We despised Chirac. Later I thought the Frogs were coming to their senses (yes, this may be true at street level in France) but “le regime” is too beholden to the Arab League in general, never mind the rioting muzzies in Paris.

May G-d bless Israel!!

How bout making Half of Paris the Palestinian Capital and letting Israel keep it’s capital under the Israeli flag. After all France loves the Muslims.

I love a man who TELL IT LIKE IT IS OR LIKE IT SHOULD BE!!! Wihtout equivocation or silly verbage that means nothing! Gooooooooooooooooooooo NETANYAHU!!!

[fish hawk]

Actually the French should devote their efforts to straightening out France.

Pretty tough words to be slinging at a country that it's biggest ally,(us) is always clamping down on them with the threat that if they don't bow to our notions we will not back them later when they need us. Even as we speak Obama and his brown shirts are tell Netanyahu not to go out on their own to bomb nuke sites in Iran. While all of us know that it would be the right thing to do. Maybe you should try on some Jewish shoes and walk a mile in them.

Interesting that Sarko is 100% Jewish.
He behaves like his North American brethrens 80% of whom voted for someone called Hussein ...

This reminds me why gun rights are so important. When your leaders are corrupted or screw-ups, you are protected by your ability to defend yourself from the insanity they unleash.

The book of Revelations says your statement is wrong. As the Anti Christ himself will sit on a thrown in the temple in Jerusalem defile the alter and set up an image of himself there.

ZECHARIAH 12:2-3 I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.

There, fixed it.

"The declaration made by the Israeli prime minister yesterday in Jerusalem prejudices the final status agreement," foreign ministry spokesman Frederic Desagneaux told reporters in Paris.

It appears the final status has been articulated by the Israeli Prime Minister.
