Israel National News reports: “French Foreign Ministry deputy spokesperson Pascal Confavreux has said that his country does not wish to see the Hamas terror group holding any political or security role following the end of the war in Gaza.

Speaking in an interview to Al-Arabiya, Confavreux said that there is broad international consensus against Hamas remaining in power in the Gaza Strip or holding any political or security role in a post-war arrangement.

According to him, the administration of the Gaza Strip should be under the Palestinian Authority, and the continued possession of weapons by Hamas constitutes the main obstacle to building a stable and democratic Palestinian state.

He also emphasized that Hamas must be disarmed without delay, as the weapons held by the terror group put the entire ‘Palestinian population’ at risk of continued suffering and isolation from the international community…”
