Supporters and relatives of Israeli hostages take part in a gathering self-called "The Mothers of Hope" to call for the release of the 239 hostages held by Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza, in Paris, on November 17, 2023. Thousands of civilians, both Palestinians and Israelis, have died since October 7, 2023, after Palestinian Hamas militants based in the Gaza Strip entered southern Israel in an unprecedented attack triggering a war declared by Israel on Hamas with retaliatory bombings on Gaza.
