In Deauville, it offered its services to negotiate a solution with the regime of Muammar Gaddafi. The blocking of the Israeli-Palestinian has been extensively discussed at the dinner of Heads of State and Government on Thursday night, several participants hailing it as "important" the recent speech by Barack Obama, European diplomatic sources reported.
