One year after the Hamas-led attack on Israel, which has led to severe consequences both regionally and internationally, two commemorative ceremonies will take place in the Hebrew State on Monday, October 7, 2024. In light of this occasion, France 24 will offer special programming in English, French, Arabic, and Spanish, with correspondents anchored in the Middle East. Through reports, interviews with witnesses, in-depth news analysis, and special editions, France 24 aims to provide viewers with a deeper understanding of the geopolitical issues at stake and the lasting impacts of this attack on the civilian populations in Israel, Gaza, the Palestinian territories, Lebanon, and the broader region.

 

France 24’s four channels (in French, English, Arabic, and Spanish) will broadcast live retransmissions of the commemorative ceremonies in Israel. Special editions featuring international commentators and correspondents reporting from Israel will air on all four channels. Exclusive reports will also be accessible throughout the day on France 24 and its digital platforms.
