French President Macron claims Hamas was 'never active in West Bank' in UNGA speech
Summary
French President Emmanuel Macron drew sharp Israeli criticism after telling the UN General Assembly that “Hamas has never been active in the West Bank.” Israeli officials and commentators called the claim demonstrably false, citing Hamas-linked attacks and a recent killing allegedly carried out by a Hamas terrorist in Judea and Samaria. A French official later said Macron meant that Hamas does not govern the area, while French media described the remark as a diplomatic error. The article also highlights Macron’s broader criticism of Israel over Gaza, Lebanon, and Palestinian sovereignty.
