A view from the lobby of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem over to the nearby French Consulate, where both French and European flags flew as French President Sarkozy meet a delegation of Palestinians, including Hanan Ashrawi from Ramallah, and a group of businesspersons from Jerusalem — who all said they felt “reassured” after the meeting on Monday.
On Tuesday, Sarkozy heads to the Presidential “Palace” in Bethlehem — a city under the iron fist of the Israeli occupation — for a meeting with Palestinian Authority in Bethlehem.
