The international peace conference in Paris kicked off on Sunday, with foreign ministers from nearly 70 countries attending plus five international organizations, the European Union, the United Nations, the Arab League, the Islamic Conference Organization and the African Union.
However, no representatives from Palestine or Israel attended the conference.
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office released a statement saying that Kerry briefed Netanyahu during a phone call on "the moves the US was taking to soften the wording of the Paris communique."
The statement added that Kerry promised Netanyahu that "there will be no resulting consequences to the conference, neither at the United Nations Security Council nor at the conference itself."
Kerry also assured Netanyahu that "the US will oppose any proposal that may be put forward to the Security Council," according to the statement.
Netanyahu slammed the conference on Sunday as "useless."
