"Two-state solution" in Israeli-Palestinian conflict in "serious danger"

- Hopes of a "two-state solution" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are in "serious danger", French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault has warned, according to BBC News.

"We must act, urgently," he said at a French-led conference in Paris aimed at reviving the stalled peace process.

Officials from the Middle East Quartet, the UN, Arab League and more than 20 states attended the discussions.

The Palestinians described the talks as "a very significant step", while Israel criticised the meeting.

Neither side was represented at the Paris gathering.
