French President Francois Hollande held talks here late Thursday with Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas to discuss the situation in the region, particularly the volatility in relations between Israelis and Palestinians and the rising violence between them. 
Hollande stressed his country's commitment to leading international efforts to help secure peace between Israel and the Palestinians. 
Hollande's office said the French leader "expressed his concern faced with the fragility of the situation in the Middle East and the increase in violence. 
He urged the parties to "recreate a political perspective" and referred to the recent Quartet report which demonstrated that "the two-State solution is under threat." "France will spare no effort to mobilise the international community in order to restart the peace process," Hollande said, according to his office. 
"While the latest report from the Quartet shows the two-state solution is under threat by continued settlement-building, there is an urgent need to recreate a political perspective," Hollande added.
