"Over 1,000 people, mainly Jews, demonstrated outside the Israeli Embassy in Paris on Sunday, protesting against the Middle East peace conference taking place in the city.
Protesters, many holding Israeli flags, said the summit attempts to hurt Israel's position and to divide Jerusalem, which they said is a concern to Jews worldwide.
'No one can dictate to Israel its future. The only way to reach peace is through direct dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians,' the leader of the French Jewish community, Francis Kalifat, told the cheering crowd.
'Peace will only come when the Palestinians stop incitement! The pressure should be applied on them, not on Israel,' he added."
