While the truce between the Jewish state and the terrorist organization began this Sunday morning and the first three Israeli hostages were released, the Israeli ambassador to France, Joshua Zarka, expressed concern about the fate of Kfir Bibas, hostage aged just two years. He spoke to Pascal de la Tour du Pin.
Kfir Bibas, the youngest of the hostages of October 7, 2023, just turned two years old this Saturday. A baby detained by Hamas who concentrates the hopes of Israeli families, on this day of truce between the terrorist organization and the Hebrew state. Thanks to a 42-day agreement negotiated between the two belligerents, three female hostages have just been released and returned to Israel. In all, 30 other hostages should be released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, including Kfir Bibas.

Distrust around information given by Hamas
However, little information has circulated about his state of health. He was kidnapped along with his father, mother and four-year-old brother. Guest of Europe 1 Evening weekend, the Israeli ambassador to France, Joshua Zarka, was particularly worried. He says he is suspicious of the information that Hamas may have provided: “What we know is that Hamas filmed his announcement to the father, that they had murdered his wife and his two children. We do not “I don’t know if it was real or if they did it to torture him. It shows the inhumanity of this organization,” he declared on Pascal de la Tour du Pin’s microphone.
“Because to do something like that, to hold a state hostage, to hold a nine-month-old child – who is now two years old – hostage with his brother and his mother, and then tell the father, ‘We murdered them ‘, simply to harm him, it’s inhumane,’ he adds.

Hope remains
Kfir Bibas is, however, present on the list of hostages presented by Hamas in the truce agreement with Israel, which could cast doubt on his death announced by the organization.
“We hope, because, really, he represents hope. We always want to believe that those who are in front of us are not entirely bad, are not entirely inhuman. So he represents hope. We hope that he will be released and he will be alive,” concludes the Israeli ambassador to France.
