War between Israel and Hamas: in a video, hostages call for negotiation
(Franceinfo)
In a video published by Hamas on Saturday April 27, two hostages call on the Israeli head of state to negotiate a truce and a release. Stéphane Séjourné, visiting the Middle East, will travel to Israel on Tuesday.
Like every Saturday, Israelis meet in Tel Aviv to demonstrate and demand the release of the hostages. On Saturday April 27, Hamas also published a video of two of them calling on Benjamin Netanyahu to negotiate to reach a truce agreement. A video that caused a lot of emotion in the country. Relatives of the hostages react. “Seeing my father today only highlights how we need to reach an agreement as quickly as possible and get everyone home”says Ilan Siegel, daughter of a hostage.
Stéphane Séjourné expected in Israel
The Islamist movement is reportedly studying an Israeli counter-proposal for a truce in the fighting in Gaza, associated with the release of hostages. In Gaza, numerous bombings took place during the night of April 26 to 27, further aggravating the already critical humanitarian situation. This weekend, the war between Israel and Hamas will also be at the center of talks by senior diplomats, such as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Stéphane Séjourné, who began a tour of the Middle East, and who arrived in Lebanon. He is expected later in Saudi Arabia and on Tuesday in Israel.
