In the courtyard of Les Invalides, 42 portraits: Emmanuel Macron paid a national tribute, Wednesday February 7, to the French victims of the attack carried out on October 7 by Hamas in Israel, in the presence, very controversial, of elected officials of the radical left.
The Head of State also reiterated that France was fighting “every day” for the “liberation” of the three French people still presumed hostages of the Palestinian Islamist movement. “Their empty chairs are there,” he said in the courtyard of the Invalides, in Paris.
“All lives are equal, invaluable in the eyes of France,” he declared, while the Elysée plans to subsequently also devote a “memorial time” to the French victims of Israeli bombings in Gaza.
The head of state also considered that we must “give in nothing to rampant, uninhibited anti-Semitism, here and there, because nothing justifies it.” “Nothing can justify or excuse this terrorism,” he insisted in the courtyard of Les Invalides, four months after the attack by the Palestinian Islamist movement.
