New Delhi: The mother of a French Gaza hostage has demanded a ceasefire from Israel. Woman Marie-Pascale Radoux has been waiting three months for news of her son Orion, who is believed to have been taken (“Take ) hostage by Hamas in the Gaza Strip after an October 7 attack on Israeli hostages from the terrorist group Hamas. An end to the war, or at least a ceasefire, is urged to allow freedom. “There must be a ceasefire for the hostages, civilians, children, families and hundreds of innocent people,” said Radoux, 62. “We are asking the same of Benjamin Netanyahu,” Radoux told the Israeli prime minister.
On 13 December, the UN General Assembly endorsed a non-binding resolution calling for a ceasefire, but the Israeli Prime Minister rejected it unless Hamas was eliminated.
“I also ask Hamas to take care of my son, because he is physically weak and has already been gone for so long,” Radoux said, expressing concern. The most difficult thing for Radoux to bear is that no concrete information is available about the life of his 32-year-old son. He said that my anxiety has increased a lot recently.
There are no words to explain what I’m feeling, Radoux said. Everything from anger to sadness, anxiety, fear, nightmares.
Orián Hernández Radoux was attending a Tribe of Nova concert when Hamas entered southern Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7. According to Israel, about 1,140 people have been killed so far in the attack, mostly civilians.
Israel’s sustained bombardment and ground offensive in Gaza has killed more than 23,000 people, most of them women and children, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
On the day of the attack, Orian tried to escape, but terrorists captured him and took him to Gaza. It is believed that he is still a prisoner. Orion’s name is on Israel’s official hostage list, which still numbers 132. However, his mother has no proof whether he is still alive or not.
Their only ray of hope is a phone call from Hamas received by their son’s friends, saying that he was fine, that we should not worry, that he was with Hamas. This brings some relief to Radoux, who is doing everything she can to find and free her son, or at least to finally confirm that he is alive.
‘Do something every day’
Radoux said, “As long as I know I can do something for her every day, it keeps me on my feet. Those days when nothing gets done are terrible. Hyperactivity keeps you from getting stuck in fear and anxiety. Is.”
He said, “It also helps to know how many people are waiting for his return and wishing for his return. The longer it takes, the more difficult it becomes and the most important thing is that people “Let’s not forget that the hostages are still in the hands of Hamas. We will make every effort to ensure that they are not forgotten.”
