France's Macron says 13 French killed by Hamas in Israel attack
PARIS, Oct 12 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that 13 French citizens had been killed by Palestinian militant Islamists in an Oct 7 attack on Israel and he vowed to do everything to bring back 17 other French nationals who still have not been accounted for.
Speaking in a national television address, Macron said Hamas was a terrorist organization which wanted the death of Israel's people and that the only way to resolving the crisis was security guarantees for Israel along with the creation of a state of Palestine.
