The French President made this commitment after awarding Ingrid Betancourt the Legion of Honour.
Nicolas Sarkozy indicated that France’s next objective was the release of the French-Israeli soldier, whose case he had raised with the Heads of State and Government meeting in Paris on 13 July for the launch of the Union for the Mediterranean.
The spectacular liberation of Ingrid Betancourt after six and a half years of captivity was a great moment and a huge relief. CRIF is delighted to see Ingrid’s smile.
CRIF has reminded our compatriots that young French-Israeli citizen Guilad Shalit was abducted by Palestinian terrorists on 25 June 2006 in the south of the Gaza strip.
