The heat has been asking to Work Together to ensure the released of the hostages. He describes that hamas is a Terrorist Organisation with the goal of destroying israel. He said that israels priority and frances priority and other allies is to win against hamas. You are not alone, he says. He said that is why france stands by israel as it stood with an International Coalition against Islamic State group, to stand by israel. So here saying it is notjust israels security that is threatened by what is going on but the security of many neighbouring countries in the middle east. He said we are democracies that respect the rules of war. He said respect Civilian Populations that allow aid in, to return electricity, he is talking here, of course, about the gaza strip. The hospitals need electricity. He said that france is ready, with concrete solutions, to help the population. And he will be speaking with a neighbouring countries to find a solution. We know that he is on a two day visit to the middle east. He is warning other actors in the region not to take any unwise steps. Youre talking about groups that backed by around in the region and that would of course include hamas and gaza but also his brother in lebanon. You dont want to add any more tears or have more blood spilled. Israels security. He says you cannot guarantee israels security, probably, without looking at a palestinian desire is that there is more and region to look for a peace solution. So he says that, you know, palestinians desire for their own state, it does need to be listened to. So here saying israel has the right to strike back at hamas, a terror organisation. It also needs a political response, he says, by addressing the desire for, amongst palestinians, by their own state. He is talking about a joint fight against terrorism and respecting humanitarian law. We have to act now, he says. So, basically, to combat terrorists, he says but offering hope. He says, thank you for your engagement against terrorism. He says, addressing this to israels Prime Minister. So he says he is now talking about the rest of his trip. He says, later today, he will be heading to the west bank, that is where he will be speaking to the Palestinian Authority president , arrival of hamas monty will be talking to other leaders in the region. But i consider that this is an International Coalition in order to fight against this terrorist group. Ijust reminded my people in my language, what we discussed about fight against terrorism, humanitarian action, wills to be respected but the political process and obviously, one dickinson escalation and i wind his brother and similar regimes not to be part of what is happening.

Europe will be in danger. Everyone will be europe will be in danger. Everyone will be in europe will be in danger. Everyone will be in danger. Civilisation will be in will be in danger.

I thank you for everything you said and thank you for coming here you said and thank you for coming here and you said and thank you for coming here and standing with us. We have ust been here and standing with us. We have just been watching here and standing with us. We have just been watching a here and standing with us. We have just been watching a press just been watching a Press Conference between frances president on a visit to israel and the wider region. Just speaking there with israels Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. And the french president pressing him the point that he believed that hamas had to be vanquished in gaza but he said that the humanitarian law needs to be respected and he talks about the rights of Palestinian Civilians inside gaza as well. Well, we can cross now to another Press Conference. This one is at the Israeli Embassy in london where three Family Members of those killed or taken hostage and still inside gaza since october seven are speaking. Sol so i called my brother. He lives next door. He said lock the door and dont let anyone in. I didnt want to tell him what i already knew because i wanted him not to panic. And the next day i had the same voices speaking. Cardiff and. I called my friend. Already engaged in battles with other terrorist groups. Ican do i can do this without the mac if you want. Can everyone hear me . Ok. So the next thing, i got two pictures sent to me showing my mother sitting in the living room, still in her nightwear, my brother sitting on the sofa, so they brought my brother from his house to hers. He was dressed but barefoot. Underneath the two pictures it said in english hamas. Hamas uploaded it to my mums facebook story so my mum is 79. She doesnt know how to upload images to facebook story. So someone else did that. And the pictures are not selfie so it is obvious they were taken by a third party. And that was the last i heard of them. I later learned a neighbour saw them being taken, walked out of the house and taken, walked out of the house and taken by foot. But i didnt know that at the time. Ive only learned that at the time. Ive only learned that a couple of days later that they were actually seen walk out of they were actually seen walk out of the house. So, the next few hours i was just waiting for the army to get to my mums house and see what they could find. The first few hours, i thought they were gone, dead. Both my mum and my brother. I thought they were probably murdered. The use of civilians being kidnapped only started circulating around noon so until noon i didnt even imagine the possibility, ijust until noon i didnt even imagine the possibility, i just thought until noon i didnt even imagine the possibility, ijust thought i have lost them. And all they wanted was my other brother and my friends and my other brother and my friends and my friends families out. Because i figured this tragedy hit me, it is going to hit me really hard. I dont want anyone else to go through what i am about to go through. Around noon, the news about the kidnapping started circulating and i started thinking, maybe the pictures were proof of life. Maybe they were taken. I didnt even know what was the better option, being killed are being kidnapped by hamas. Sol the better option, being killed are being kidnapped by hamas. So i was in a waiting period until around the evening when the army managed to get to my mum and my brothers house and i got a phone call telling me my mum and my brother were missing. And so was my older brother. I wasnt in touch with him all day because we never spoke during a missile attack, we always spoke after. So i was not in touch with him. I was informed he was missing, too. His phone was found in his house. The next day, nine oclock in the morning, i drove to the nearest Police Station to my house to file a formal Missing Persons report and to submit my dna and, as i went in to the Police Station, i received a phone call from my family that mailed his brother, he was 5a, was found at daylight, he was shot dead behind his house. So i filed a missing report from my mum and my brother. The mass casualties, bodies are still being identified as we speak. Because of the numbers and because of the conditions of those who were murdered, 18 days later, my brothers body has not been identified officially. I am 46 years old. My life, at the moment, is worrying from a diabetic mum and brother who have been held by hamas. My brother who have been held by hamas. My mother needs insulin shots. I dont know if she is getting them and how long she can survive without them. And then, on the other hand, i am chasing Dental Records and x rays, filing forms asking me my brother had skies or tattoos, which he didnt. So trying to identify my brother so we can bury him and bring him to rest. And then bringing my mum and my other brother home. So this has been my life for the last 17, 18 days now. 18 days. Ifind that when i ask people what day is it . They say, Monday Or Tuesday and i count by numbers. Day 18. My life is stopped, on the 7th Of October. I try not to deal with my loss of my brother at the moment because i find it too painful. find brother at the moment because i find it too painful it too painful. And what we are watchin it too painful. And what we are watching and it too painful. And what we are watching and there it too painful. And what we are watching and there is it too painful. And what we are watching and there is a it too painful. And what we are watching and there is a press | watching and there is a Press Conference by three families at the Israeli Embassy in london. Families whose loved ones were taken hostage into the gaza strip or who were murdered as part of the hamas organisers attack inside israel on the 7th Of October. We will be watching that ongoing Press Conference for you, just hearing from a lady there is included in the 220 people still held hostage inside the gaza strip and his brothers remains were so scattered after the Massacre Darren the 7th Of October that he still, she says, has not formally been identified. Well, overnight, there was a small glimmer of hope, as it has been described, two more hostages, elderly hostages were released overnight out of captivity after being held by her mass. An 85 year old was handed over alongside a 79 year old that is at the rougher Border Crossing at egypt. Hamas it described as a Terrorist Organisation by many states. They said they released the two women for humanitarian reasons but the husbands are still inside gaza. Speaking at a news conference, just less than an hour ago, one person described her experience and detail. She says she was seen by a doctor and that the hostages that she was with were given medicine. She said that she described the tunnels under gaza is looking like a spiders web. Her daughter helped to translate her account. My spiders web. Her daughter helped to translate her account. Translate her account. My mum is tellin translate her account. My mum is telling the translate her account. My mum is telling the horrific translate her account. My mum is telling the horrific stories. Translate her account. My mum is telling the horrific stories. She i translate her account. My mum is telling the horrific stories. She is | telling the horrific stories. She is saying that many, many people, swarm of people came to their defence and it didnt help even a little bit. My mum is saying that she was taken on the back of a motorbike with her legs on one side. That she was taken through the fields. And that whilst she was being taken, she was hit with sticks by shabaab . Yes, shabaab people. Until they reached the tunnels. There. There, they walked for a few kilometres on the wet ground. There are a huge, huge network of tunnels underneath, it looks like a spider web. She also spoke about how she and the other hostages in the group she was kept with were treated. My mum is talking about coming there. When they arrived, they arrived into a large hall, about 25 hostages, after two or three hours, those hostages, five of them, she among them, were taken into a separate room. My mum is saying that they were very friendly towards them and that they took care of them. They were given the medicine. That they were given. They were given medicine and they were treated, one of the men was badly injured from a Motorbike Accident on the way, and the paramedic was looking after his wounds, he was given medicine, antibiotics, that the people were friendly, that they kept the place very clean, they were very concerned about them. So weve been hearing from one of the two elderly hostages who was released from inside gaza. So much has been happening on the diplomatic front today. First of all, what must iurnp front today. First of all, what must jump out for families who lost loved ones in the Massacre Inside Israel ones in the Massacre Inside Israel on the 7th Of October is hearing her describe how well she said she was treated, considerately, politely by her captors and yet, the massacre on israeli soil, including children, people burned, i mean. It is very graphic. We cannot share pictures of it. It graphic. We cannot share pictures of it. ,. , , graphic. We cannot share pictures of it. , graphic. We cannot share pictures of it. It contrasts very strongly. Absolutely it. It contrasts very strongly. Absolutely. There it. It contrasts very strongly. Absolutely. There were it. It contrasts very strongly. | absolutely. There were three it. It contrasts very strongly. Absolutely. There were three very important point in what we were hearing that because, first of all, she describes going through hell. Stop by the absolute brutality of the moment that they were captured close to the gaza offence. Talked about being beaten and put on her side while she was kidnapped and hit with sticks, jewellery taken. An extremely disturbing testament but she then went on to talk about the treatment was never in the gaza strip and talked about the network of tunnels and been taken into a big hole. All this will be very significant information for the israeli authorities that they tried to debrief hostages to get as much information about what is happening to the rest of the hostages but i think that message will be very important for the families of some of the others because at least there is a sense that, in her case, and we dont know if that is the same with all of them, that there was some sense of people being treated. She said there are medicines brought, mattresses on the floor, they were fed. , mattresses on the floor, they were fed. ,. ,. , fed. That will be important, then, for the families fed. That will be important, then, for the families of fed. That will be important, then, for the families of the fed. That will be important, then, for the families of the others. For the families of the others. Thank you. We have heard reports from the other hostages released overnight apparently didnt have the same experience. Of course, the suffering of Palestinian Civilians inside gaza. We are keeping you up to date with all of the developments even the middle east. Stay with us here on bbc news. Hello again.
