PARIS (Reuters) - Britain said on Sunday it had reservations about the outcome of a Middle East peace conference in Paris, saying it risked "hardening positions". "There are risks therefore that this conference hardens positions at a time when we need to be encouraging the conditions for peace." Britain had observer status at the conference. London last month scolded U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry for describing the Israeli government as the most right-wing in Israeli history, a move that aligned Prime Minister Theresa May more closely with President-elect Donald Trump.
