French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday Iran's condoning of the Hamas attack on Israel was unacceptable and that France was looking into to establish whether it was directly involved.
"I have no comment to make about the direct involvement of Iran for which we have no formal proof, but it's clear that the public comments by Iranian authorities were unacceptable... and that it is likely that Hamas was offered help," he said.
"But I will remain careful on that point until we have stabilized intelligence," Macron added in a news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
