Arab nations will condemn Hamas, urge Palestinian state recognition

Arab nations will condemn Hamas for the first time at a UN meeting, calling for its disarmament. This move aims to encourage more European countries to recognize a Palestinian state. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot revealed this plan, part of a joint effort with Saudi Arabia. The condemnation and call for disarmament are intended to isolate Hamas, while European nations will confirm their intent to recognize Palestine. France plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state on September 21 during the UN General Assembly. This initiative follows previous Abraham Accords and precedes upcoming UN meetings on a two-state solution.
