France is steadfast in its commitment to securing the release of two French-Israeli hostages currently being held by Hamas in Gaza. Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot emphasized the country's unwavering determination, stating that they will continue to fight until the very end for the safe return of Ofer Calderon and Ohad Yahalomi.
These two individuals are part of a group of 33 hostages slated for release in the initial phase of a ceasefire-hostage agreement, as announced by French President Emmanuel Macron last week. Despite the progress made in negotiations, Barrot expressed concern over the lack of updates regarding the hostages' well-being and the specific conditions of their captivity.
