Delegates from 70 countries met in the French capital Paris to try and jump-start stalled talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders and reaffirm their support for a two-state solution.
However, Israeli and Palestinian diplomats were not there to hear what was said.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, dismissed the summit, saying only bilateral negotiations have a chance of being successful while Palestinianan President Mahmoud Abbas welcomed it.
They have both been invited to a briefing on the talks by President Francois Hollande.
