2. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister:
"This (French proposal) gives the Palestinian an incentive to come and not make concessions. The essence of negotiations is making concessions and the French initiative, as has been reported, gives the Palestinians cause not to do that. I assume there will be a sobering of views on this subject. Either way we will act so there will be more sober views here. Our position is very clear. We are prepared to enter direct negotiations, with no pre-conditions and without conditions that are dictated."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Saeb Erekat, Senior Palestinian negotiator:
"We welcome the French initiative of convening an international conference, on the basis of the relevant international resolutions, UN Security Council, General Assembly resolutions, within a specified time frame and a follow-up mechanism within a new context to ensure the end of the Israeli occupation that began in 1967 and the establishment of a Palestinian state on the 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital."

STORYLINE:
Israel on Sunday rejected France's intention to recognise a Palestinian state if its efforts to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks failed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting in Jerusalem that the proposal gave Palestinians no incentive to negotiate.
Senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat however welcomed the move.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told French diplomats on Friday that France will prepare for an international conference to bring together the two parties and their American, European and Arab partners in order "to make happen a two-state solution".
If this attempt becomes deadlocked, Fabius said that France would have to recognise a Palestinian state.
