Truce in Gaza: more than a thousand people gathered in Paris to demand the release of hostages

Visible on the hats of many demonstrators, the orange color refers to the red hair of Kfir Bibas, the youngest of the hostages. “This event has been planned for a long time because it’s his birthday. He is celebrating his 2nd birthday today,” says Jean-David Ichay, president of the Tous 7 Octobre association, seriously. The thirty-year-old adds that the mobilization also aims to “support the families of the hostages”. On Wednesday, Israel and Hamas concluded a six-week truce during which 737 Palestinian prisoners are expected to be released by the Jewish state in exchange for 33 Israeli hostages.
