The French president has blamed last month's outburst against Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu on France being "left out" of the deal to free a captured IDF soldier.
Gilad Shalit, who holds dual Israeli and French citizenship, was released form the clutches of Hamas in October after more than five years of captivity.
His freedom came in exchange for the release of more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners.
But according to Ha'aretz, Nicholas Sarkozy was angry that his government played no part in negotiating the deal, unlike Germany and Egypt.
