Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich met yesterday with representatives of French and international companies. He is in Paris for the OCDE summit, but will not meet with an official after his remarks about the Palestinians sparked a storm.

Earlier this morning, the director general of the Prime Minister's Office said in an interview that "we need to stop talking about it," referring to legal reform. The meeting dealt with regulatory gaps and bureaucracy in the Israeli market and the possibility of accelerating processes that will make it easier for investors to enter Israel.
