Islam Times - Hamas says French President Hollande’s visit is unwelcome

Islam Times - Hamas movement denounced the visit by French president Francois Hollande to occupied Jerusalem on Sunday, describing it as an “unwelcome visit”.

Dr. Salah Al-Bardawil, official spokesman for Hamas, said in a press release on Saturday that Hollande’s visit would encourage the Israeli occupation to go ahead in its Judaization and settlement crimes.

Bardawil charged that the visit reflects “western hypocrisy” in dealing with the Palestine cause and harbingers a new serious stage of ignoring rights.

French President Francois Hollande will arrive to Israel on Sunday for a visit in which he will meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres, and address the Knesset.
