In a move that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called “baffling,” the nation of France is planning to bring Israelis and Palestinians together for an international peace conference. The French foreign minister has also warned that if a peace deal is not reached, France will recognize a Palestinian state.

• Netanyahu said this week that Israel and the U.S. are making long-term plans to deal with Iran-funded terror in the wake of the recent nuclear deal.
• In an attack similar to ones happening in Israel, a man wielding a machete attacked patrons at an Israeli-owned restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. The attacker was fatally shot by police.
