French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine has urged Israel to change its policies towards the Palestinians, asserting Israel’s military onslaught has "only worsened the situation".
"A solution can be found with a change in the policy of the Israeli government. The Israelis have to recognize that the policy they have carried out to improve security has only worsened the situation," Vedrine said in an interview published Monday in Le Parisien newspaper, cited by AFP.
"It is up to them to take the decision to change... A policy of repression cannot solve the Palestinian problem," he said. (Albawaba.com)
