France voted in favour of a Palestinian resolution at the UN Security Council at the end of December. The resolution demanded an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories within three years. In response, Israel summoned its ambassador to Paris. Aside from the resolution, there was also a vote in the French parliament calling on the government to recognise the Palestinian state, as well as the French initiative to formulate a Security Council resolution setting a timetable for an permanent peace treaty with a framework for the negotiations on the core issues such as borders and Jerusalem.
