French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna says her country is “deeply saddened to hear the Israeli armed forces announce the death of our compatriot Elia Toledano, a Hamas hostage whose body was found in Gaza,” after the hostage’s body was recovered from the Strip.
Toledano had dual Israel-French citizenship.
“We share the grief of his family and loved ones. The release of all hostages is our priority,” she writes on X.
