France is "available to organize a second conference of donors," and "we are ready to host them in Paris," Alliot-Marie said during a meeting with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas.

France had hosted a donors conference in December 2007.

The minister urged a resumption of Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, saying peace in the Middle East is "indispensable."

"What is possible today might be impossible in a few months. That is why we must move forward," Alliot-Marie told reporters in Amman.

She was addressing a joint news conference with Palestinian foreign minister Riyad al-Malki after a dinner with Abbas in the Jordanian capital.

"France is committed to three principles: the creation of a Palestinians state, guaranteed security for Israel and Jerusalem as the capital of two states with free access to holy places for all those who come to practise their religions," she said.
