Allow families to attend the national tribute.
According to our information, France will charter a plane to Israel to support the travel of the families of the French victims of the Hamas attacks in October, to allow them to attend the tribute which will be paid on February 7 at the Invalides.
The families who wished to go to the ceremony will be taken care of by the French consulate in Tel Aviv and must arrive in France this Tuesday at the end of the afternoon, a source indicates to Le Parisien.
They should leave on Thursday, the day after the tribute.
Some families will stay in Israel
Four families who reside in Israel confirmed their presence to Le Parisien, as well as a family living in France.
Hadas Kalderon, mother of the two former Franco-Israeli hostages Erez and Sahar, will not be on the trip.
Their father, Ofer, is still being held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Other family members will board the plane chartered by France.
Another family living in Israel confirms to us that they were contacted by the French authorities on this occasion.
Still too affected by the disappearance of their loved one during the Nova festival, she decided to decline the invitation.
The national tribute ceremony to the 42 French victims of the attacks carried out by Hamas on October 7 must take place at Les Invalides, in the presence of Emmanuel Macron.
Several political leaders announced their arrival, including elected officials from La France insoumise, causing a strong reaction from certain families of victims who sent a letter to the Head of State in which they asked him to ban "any presence” rebellious this February 7.
