French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday condemned Hamas for airing a video of Franco-Israeli Mia Shem, who was taken hostage by the Islamist militant group earlier this month. He has called for her unconditional release and says talks are underway to release other hostages.
"It is an ignominy to take innocent people hostage and put them on show in this odious way," the Elysee presidential palace quoted Macron as saying.
