More pressure on Israel…and only Israel it seems. It is amazing the fact of the negotiations, if you get beyond the sound bites, the media wants you to watch. Israel would extend freeze of settlement building (in their own country) if only the PA would recognize Israel as a nation? The Answer, No. Then who gets pressured? Israel…

France May Recognize Unilateral PA Country
France has threatened to recognize a unilateral declaration of statehood by the Palestinian Authority if final status talks with Israel are “delayed.”
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner was quoted Sunday in an interview with the Arabic-language newspaper al-Ayyam as saying his government would not rule out the possibility of recognizing the unilateral establishment of a new PA country.
Kouchner, who himself is Jewish, said France would consider the option if PA talks with Israel were to suffer from “delays,” although Paris preferred the two-state solution to be negotiated between the two entities.
