France hopes the four-day truce in Gaza between Israel and Hamas will last until all hostages held by the Palestinian militant group are freed, Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna says.
“We demand the release of our hostages and all the hostages. It would be good, helpful, and necessary for the truce to be extended to this end,” she tells BFMTV.
A number of French-Israeli citizens are being held. Israel agreed to a deal that is capped at 10 days, which would see only around half of the hostages freed, before the cabinet would have to vote again.
