\r\n\tIn October 2020, France held a secret meeting with Hamas leaders, according to information released by the Israeli channel Channel 12<\/strong><\/p>

A document seized by the Israeli army in Gaza revealed details of this meeting, which took place in Doha, Qatar, and was organized by the French.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nOn October 16, 2020, a senior French intelligence official, considered third in command, met with two important Hamas leaders: Moussa Abu Marzouk and Khaled Mashaal, who were, respectively, the former and current presidents of the so-called Hamas Political Bureau.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe seized document details what was discussed at the meeting.<\/p>

\r\nThe French representative told the Hamas leaders: “I am happy with this meeting.<\/p>

\r\nIt has the approval of President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>

\r\nWe want to speak not only with the Palestinian Authority, but also with you.<\/p>

\r\nWe French have always been historically close to the Palestinian struggle.”\r\n<\/p>

\r\nHe also criticized the United States’ handling of the Palestinian issue, according to Channel 12.<\/b>\r\n<\/p>

\r\nIn response, Abu Marzouk and Mashaal stated: “Even if the international community supports Israel, we are certain that we will defeat it.<\/p>

\r\nThis land is ours, and our resistance and revolution have lasted more than a century.<\/p>

\r\nWe will continue until victory.”\r\n<\/p>

<\/p>

\r\nThe document shows no objection from the French to Hamas’s statements about destroying Israel.<\/b>\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThis revelation came to light after President Macron announced on July 24 that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nA French diplomat denied the content of the document, calling the accusations “baseless” and suggesting they are intended to undermine France’s efforts for a two-state political solution.<\/p>

\r\nHe reinforced: “Hamas is a terrorist organization responsible for the worst anti-Semitic massacre of the 21st century.<\/p>

\r\nFrance will continue working to disarm it permanently and exclude it from any future political solution, in Gaza and beyond.”<\/p>
