High-ranking Hamas representatives held a highly confidential meeting with a French delegation.
This was reported by the newspaper "Asharq Al-Awsat," citing three Palestinian sources.
According to the information, the delegation included active and former diplomats, as well as representatives from both the ruling coalition and the opposition in the French parliament.
The meeting took place approximately a week ago in one of the Middle Eastern countries. For security reasons, the country where the meeting was held and the exact date were not disclosed.
According to the sources, preparations for the talks were conducted under maximum secrecy. Some parties involved in the Palestinian and regional process were informed about the meeting only shortly before it began.
Although Hamas later confirmed to several parties that the meeting had taken place, it did not disclose any information about the agenda of the talks or the issues discussed.
