Macron mourns death of French-Mexican hostage killed and taken to Gaza on Oct. 7
French President Emmanuel Macron says he received news of the death of French-Mexican national Orión Hernández Radoux “with immense sadness,” after the IDF recovered his body from Gaza overnight and says the French government is assisting his family.
“France remains more committed than ever to the release of all the hostages,” he adds.
J’apprends avec une immense tristesse la mort de notre compatriote Orión Hernández-Radoux, otage du Hamas depuis le 7 octobre.
Je pense à sa famille et à ses proches. Nous sommes à leurs côtés.
La France reste plus que jamais engagée pour la libération de tous les otages.
