A woman draped in an Israeli flag walks past portraits of an Israeli hostages held captive by Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip since the October 7, 2023 attacks, displayed behind an installation depicting a disrupted meal, symbolising the refusal of the relatives of those held to celebrate the Jewish New Year as long as the hostages have not been released, during a sit-in protest next to prime minister's residence in Jerusalem, on September 22, 2025. France and other countries were set on September 22 to join several Western governments that have angered Israel by recognizing a Palestinian state as the UN's centerpiece diplomatic week got underway in New York.
