At the end of November, Emmanuel Macron welcomed the release of Mia Schem and shared this “great joy with her family and all French people”. A few weeks earlier, he had denounced “a disgusting scene” after Hamas released a video in which the young woman appeared. In the pictures we saw her awake and lying down, but her arm was injured. “Please get me out of here as quickly as possible,” she could be heard begging in a second clip.
Another Frenchman, Eliya Toledano, was captured during the music festival. He (like Ofer Kalderon, Ohad Yahalomi and Orion Hernandez-Radou) is still held hostage by Hamas.
