‘Peace in the Middle East is in everyone’s interest; this is the steadfast position adopted by France, which takes its decisions completely independently. The Security Council has a central role to play in leading the parties to a fair, lasting solution; escalation can lead only to deadlock. France takes its decisions on the basis of these principles and will continue to do so.’ http://basedoc.diplomatie.gouv.fr/vues/Kiosque/FranceDiplomatie/kiosque.php?type=baen
