Hollande wanted this rally to be about France and not about either the Israel-Palestine conflict or a Netanyahu political event.

Both Abbas and Netanyahu agreed to stand down. When Netanyahu found out two of his ministers were attending the rally he changed his mind. In an effort to lessen Netanyahu's political optics Hollande then issued an invitation to Abbas--who accepted.

Hollande reportedly was quite annoyed with Mr. Netanyahu and when he took the podium to speak at the reopened temple Hollande walked out.
