France has called for the "full implementation" of the agreement between Israel and Hamas, which includes a ceasefire in bombing and fighting, and dictates the release of hostages and prisoners "without further delay." French Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Anne-Claire Legendre stated, "Paris again calls for the immediate release of all hostages," adding, "We urge full compliance with the terms of this agreement." She noted that "the waiting for the families of the hostages has been harsh and unbearable."
