    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.'"
