Najat Vallaud-Belkacem thinks every day of all those who are being held hostage. “What I felt that day was that Netanyahu’s government had fallen headfirst into Hamas’s trap. And since then, what has befallen the population of Gaza is absolutely hellish, unbearable. And so I demand a ceasefire.” concluded the President of France Terre d’Asile.
