Families of hostages met with French President Emmanuel Macron. The meeting lasted about two hours and its purpose was to present to Macron the families' clear demand that in any move or discussion regarding the "day after," their loved ones should be the first priority. This was reported by the Hostage Families Forum. During the meeting, the families described the difficult situation of the hostages in captivity, the harsh testimonies from survivors and the videos published in recent weeks. The French president promised that since October 7, the hostages have been an integral part of his daily agenda and remain at the forefront of his concerns.
