France's Macron says no embassy in Palestine until Gaza hostages freed

France's planned recognition of a Palestinian state will not include the opening of an embassy until Hamas frees the hostages it is holding in Gaza, President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview that aired Sunday.

"It will be, for us, a requirement very clearly before opening, for instance, an embassy in Palestine," Macron told CBS News in an interview taped Thursday. France says it will formally recognize a Palestinian state along with other countries Monday at the United Nations.
