French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot on Friday hailed the prospect of the United Nations adopting a resolution condemning Hamas, describing it as a turning point in the group’s international isolation.
“September 12 will be remembered as the day of Hamas’s definitive international isolation,” Barrot said.
According to the minister, the resolution—drafted jointly by France and Saudi Arabia—marks the first time the UN will formally condemn Hamas. The text denounces the group’s crimes, calls for its disarmament, and demands its permanent exclusion from any future role in Palestinian governance.
Barrot expressed confidence that the resolution would be “widely adopted” by member states, underlining France’s determination to build consensus within the international community against Hamas.

Countries are still working on a U.N. Security Council mandate for an international stabilisation force in Gaza, and will decide on any troop deployments once a framework is complete, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Monday.
Avishay Edri wants to move back to the kibbutz he evacuated in southern Israel after it was attacked by Palestinian gunmen two years ago, but is hesitating as fears persist that the war in nearby Gaza will resume and it will not be safe.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is expected to call at a meeting in Istanbul on Monday for arrangements to be made as soon as possible to ensure the security and administration of Gaza by Palestinians, a foreign ministry source said on Sunday.
