France to Israel: No evidence Hamas, Islamic Jihad are ââterror groupsââ
France expressed objections to placing Hamas and Islamic Jihad on the European Union(EU)âs list of "terror organizations", according to an Israeli report on Monday. Israelâs Yediot Aharonot website reported that diplomatic advisor to French President Jacques Chirac, Maurice Gourdault-Montagne, told the Israeli ambassador in France, Nissim Zvilli, during a weekend meeting, that there is no evidence that these two organizations are "terror groups."

"If we find that Hamas and Islamic Jihad are indeed terror groups opposed to peace, we may have to change the EUâs stand," Gordo conveyed. "However, we mustnât limit ourselves to one, clear cut, position."...
| "Certainly not one that's grounded in reality..." |
