*PMO Slams Macron Over Claim That “There Is No Hamas in the West Bank”* The Prime Minister’s Office issued a sharp response to French President Emmanuel Macron after he claimed that “there is no Hamas in the West Bank.” The PMO pointed to the murder of Netanel Shakron, a French citizen and father of six, in the Binyamin terror attack before Yom Kippur. “Hamas terrorists carry out attacks against Jews almost every day,” the PMO said, accusing Macron of ignoring Hamas activity in Judea and Samaria. “Ignorance is no excuse for erasing their blood,” the statement concluded.
