France’s Macron expresses support for Bibas family
French President Emmanuel Macron tweets his support for the Bibas family, which is clinging to hope regarding the fate of their loved ones after Hamas announced it would be returning their bodies on Thursday.
“Shiri, Kfir, Ariel. Faces of innocence and love. Faces of an eternal humanity that the barbarity of Hamas will never destroy,” Macron writes.
“France mobilized for the release of all hostages and stands alongside Yarden and the Bibas family. In universal brotherhood,” he adds.
