French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot said that his country opposes any form of annexation of Gaza and the West Bank by the Israeli regime.

"France opposes any form of annexation, whether it is the West Bank or the Gaza Strip," Barrot said at a press conference during his visit to Dijon, eastern France, on Friday.

According to the official, France has a "very clear vision of what the future of the region should be."

"It is a solution for two states living in peace side by side, with mutual recognition and security guarantees. This is the only way to achieve lasting peace and stability in the region," he said.

Earlier on Friday, Israeli Minister Israel Katz said that the occupying regime would annex territories in Gaza if the Islamic Resistance Movement refused to release the remaining hostages.

Zionist forces have repeatedly violated the ceasefire that began on January 19 and have resumed genocidal atrocities since Tuesday.

In two days, the Israeli regime killed over 700 Palestinians and wounded over 1,000.
