French President Emanuel Macron issues a tweet in Hebrew marking the 600th day of captivity for the 57 of the 58 remaining hostages in Gaza who were abducted during the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023.
“Six hundred days of unbearable hell for them and their loved ones. Six hundred days, and not a single day has passed without us thinking about them,” Macron writes.
“France stands by them — mobilized and determined. For their liberation, for an immediate ceasefire, for the peace and security of all. This is our supreme mission,” he adds.
