Cairo, (IINA) - French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius on Saturday urged the resumption of Middle East peace talks, AFP reported.
The French minister also warned that continued Israeli construction in the West Bank poses a threat to a final deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA).
"What's important is that negotiations restart," Fabius told reporters during a visit to Cairo, where he held talks with Egyptian officials on the peace process.
"From this point of view, when settlement building continues, (the prospect of) a two-state solution recedes," claimed Fabius.
Egypt is the first stop of a two-day visit Fabius is making to the Middle East in an attempt to push Israel and the PA back to the negotiating table.
During his visit Fabius met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry.
