French President Emmanuel Macron called for the immediate release of Mia Schem, a 21-year-old Franco-Israeli hostage who appeared in a video Hamas released Monday.
Schem was injured and kidnapped from an outdoor music festival where over 250 people were killed.
Macron’s office denounced the “ignominy of taking innocent people hostage and their odious staging” in a video.
France’s foreign minister has been in touch with families of hostages taken by Hamas, including Schem’s, and is working for their release, the office said.
