On Thursday, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the complete exclusion of the "Hamas" movement is necessary. According to the French authorities, "Hamas" must be excluded in light of its decision to add the organization to the list of terrorist groups. The ministry's statement notes that this decision was made back in 2001 and reaffirmed subsequently. "We must ensure that the conditions for an official dialogue are maintained, and in this context, 'Hamas' does not play any constructive role," the ministry stated.
