Emmanuel Macron will pay a national tribute on Wednesday October 7 “under the sign” of the “fight against anti-Semitism” to the French victims of the attack carried out on October 7 by Hamas in Israel, before a “memorial time” later considered for the French people who died in Israeli bombings in Gaza.

The ceremony at Les Invalides will allow the Head of State to salute the memory of “42 fellow citizens died” in the attack by the Palestinian Islamist movement, which led to the death of more than 1,160 people, the majority civilians.
