Visiting French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné tells Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Paris continues to strongly denounce Hamas and is planning a ceremony on the four-month anniversary of the deadly assault.
“This meeting is important to us, because we are at an important moment. You know the positions of France,” Séjourné says, in remarks ahead of their meeting translated from French, noting Paris’s strong denunication of Hamas’s October 7 onslaught.
Séjourné says that France is also organizing a commemoration of the attack, in Paris on February 7, including for the 42 French citizens who were murdered that day.
Netanyahu thanks Séjourné for coming and for France’s support of Israel, including against the ICJ trial at the Hague on charges of genocide.
He says that the pair have many topics to discuss, “including efforts to help with medical humanitarian aid and of course cooperation between us on the topic of Lebanon.”
