A Hamas delegation held a secret meeting with French officials in a regional country in recent weeks, according to an unverified report from a single source.
A single-source report, originating from a channel monitored by The Zioneer, states that a Hamas delegation held a secret meeting with French officials in a regional country over the past several weeks. The report provides no further details on the location, timing, or agenda of the meeting.
This development would mark a rare direct contact between a Western European government and Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States, and the European Union. The Zioneer has previously reported on Hamas's diplomatic efforts, including a delegation's recent conclusion of talks in Cairo and subsequent travel to Turkey (published June 18), as well as a Knesset committee's probe into suspected contacts between Israeli Arab lawmaker Mansour Abbas and Hamas leadership (June 16). However, those items provide background context only and are not directly connected to this unconfirmed report.
The information is unverified and based on a single source. No official confirmation from French or Hamas representatives has been published.
