Paris Park Path Honors Bibas Family, Hamas Attack Victims Remembered

The Paris City Hall on Tuesday evening, the eve of October 7th, commemorated the memory of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas by naming a path in Parc Monceau after them. The family, who became a symbol of the October 7th Hamas attack, is now being honored in a public space in France. Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir, were abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, 2023, during the Hamas assault. The three were killed in captivity, and their faces became a symbol of the hostages and the children and families affected by the massacre.

Also on Tuesday evening, in Nir Oz, the French Ambassador to Israel participated in a memorial ceremony alongside ambassadors and representatives from European Union countries. They gathered to pay tribute to the victims of the October 7th attack, which took place in the kibbutz where some of the day's most horrific events occurred.

In parallel, Israeli embassies worldwide are holding a series of commemoration and public diplomacy events this week to mark the October 7th events at key government and cultural centers. Survivors of the massacre, released hostages, and bereaved families are sharing their personal testimonies in numerous countries, including the United States, Japan, Mexico, Spain, and Germany. Alongside these testimonies and official ceremonies in parliaments and public institutions, the diplomatic missions are also presenting the memory to the world through cultural projects, including photography exhibitions and screenings of documentaries like "Death Bunker" and "We Will Dance Again" in various capitals.
