(AHN) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled his June 3 meeting with French President Nicholas Sarkozy because of Paris' position that Jerusalem should be the capital of two states.
Israeli officials had cited incomplete preparation as the reason for the cancellation announced Tuesday but the French Foreign Ministry said otherwise.
Ministry spokesman Frederic Desagneaux was quoted as saying by Ejpress.org that the cancellation was related to the French government's accusation that Netanyahu is prejudicing the outcome of the Middle East peace process by declaring that Jerusalem would forever be Israel's undivided capital.
