Édouard Philippe, Gabriel Attal and François Hollande visited an exhibition in homage to the victims of the October 7 attacks, Le Figaro reported on Wednesday. The three French political figures appeared together at the memorial event, according to the outlet.

Le Figaro did not detail the location of the exhibition or the program of the visit in the material available.

The visit came as France's top diplomat, speaking in Israel, said the country rejects what he described as the "poison" of antisemitism, according to Orange Actualités. French officials have marked the anniversary with public statements and commemorations.

Coverage of the anniversary extended beyond France. In Israel, franceinfo reported a day of tributes to the victims, quoting the phrase "our lives were devastated forever." Courrier international examined how Israeli children are putting their trauma into words, while Libération published a piece by writer Etgar Keret describing October 7 as a day of endless massacres.

The October 7, 2023 attacks and the war that followed have remained a subject of intense public debate in France, where the anniversary has drawn both official commemorations and broader reflection in the press.

What to watch next: whether French officials announce further commemorative events or policy responses tied to the anniversary in the coming days.
