Hamas 'must have no role' in Gaza governance

French President Emmanuel Macron said Sunday that Hamas should play no part in governing Gaza while publicly backing the Egyptian-led Gaza reconstruction plan during a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi.

This was reported by “The Times of Israel”.

The two spoke at a press conference ahead of a planned summit with Jordan’s King Abdullah II later that day, in light of Israel’s renewed offensive against Hamas in Gaza.

Macron threw his support behind the Gaza reconstruction plan unveiled by the Arab League in March, saluting Egypt’s “crucial work” and saying it “offers a realistic path to the reconstruction of Gaza.”

He added that the proposal should also “pave the way for new Palestinian governance in the enclave led by the Palestinian Authority” and stressed that Hamas “must have no role in this governance, and must no longer constitute a threat to Israel.”

Egypt, along with Qatar and the United States, has been a mediator between Israel and Hamas. The US has, meanwhile, called on Jordan and Egypt to accept Palestinian refugees from Gaza.

Macron also remarked during the Cairo press conference that he strongly opposed any displacement of Palestinians or Israeli annexation in Gaza and the West Bank.

“We are firmly opposed to the displacement of populations and to any annexation of both Gaza and the West Bank,” he said, adding that such outcomes would be “a violation of international law and a serious threat to the security of the entire region, including Israel.”
