France says State of Palestine recognition 'goes against' Hamas stance

France's plan to formally recognize a Palestinian state runs counter to the stance held by Palestinian militant group Hamas, Paris said Friday.

"Hamas has always ruled out a two-state solution. By recognizing Palestine, France goes against that terrorist organization," Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on X, a day after President Emmanuel Macron said France would recognize Palestinian statehood in September.
