SUBJECT: FRANCE MID-EAST DIRECTOR ON PEACE PROCESS
Classified By: Acting Political Minister Counselor Andrew R. Young for
reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).
¶1. (S/NF) MFA Middle East Director (Assistant
Secretary-equivalent) Patrice Paoli informed POL Minister
Counselor June 18 that Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak
told French officials in Paris June 15 that the Israelis have
a "secret accord" with the USG to continue the "natural
growth" of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Paoli noted
that the French anticipate strong Israeli resistance to USG
pressure on this issue. He asked whether the USG has
considered how to adapt to possible Israeli responses: "How
will you react to Israeli reactions to your pressure?" He
claimed that "the credibility of President Obama will be
judged on the issue of settlements." MFA DAS Ludovic
Pouille, who also attended the meeting, underlined this
point: "Arabs are saying progress on settlements is crucial.
Saudi Arabia and Egypt seem obsessed with the settlements
issue; they won't even enter the game without progress on
settlements." Paoli added that "negotiations can wait until
the fall, but steps forward cannot wait until then." Both
diplomats emphasized the need to build confidence measures on
the ground now.
¶2. (S/NF) In stressing the energy with which the GOF plans
to approach the peace process, Paoli said that France will
not wait until all 27 EU members are in agreement before
pressing ahead with their support of USG efforts. Pouille
said the French can play an important role on "two key
issues": working toward a settlements freeze and monitoring
the implementation of an eventual agreement. By leaning on
other countries in the European Union and within the Quartet
to bring their resources to bear ("their diplomatic presence,
their networks"), Paoli said that France hopes to contribute
to pressing the parties forward as quickly as possible.
Pouille stressed monitoring in particular, which he described
as "a big hole at the Annapolis conference." He argued that
"the US cannot be the only judge" of progress.
¶3. (S/NF) Paoli explained that President Sarkozy will have
three messages to convey to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
when they meet in Paris on June 24:
-- "You think you've got time, but you don't."
-- "You think you have an alternative solution, but you
don't."
-- "You think you're stronger than the Palestinians, but
you're not."
Paoli said that Sarkozy will stress that "there is a single
door and it is imperative to move through it now." Paoli and
Pouille both expressed disappointment with the reservations
contained in Netanyahu's June 14 speech, but noted that it
nonetheless reflected significant movement in the Likud
position regarding a Palestinian state. "It's not easy to
reverse a campaign promise two months after the campaign,"
Paoli observed. They also said that President Obama's
address in Cairo was extremely well received in France and in
the Arab world. "It was a speech, though, and it was a
received as a speech," Pouille said. "The reaction in the
Arab world was: 'Now do it.'"
