President Isaac Herzog and First Lady Michal Herzog visited the Ohr Torah Jewish school in Toulouse, the site of the terror attack in 2012 in which Jonathan, Arié, Gabriel, and Myriam were murdered.
President Isaac Herzog and President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic laid a wreath at the monument commemorating the victims of the attack, stood for a minute’s silence, and then met teachers and students who were present at the school at the time of the attack.
Later, together with former French Presidents François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy, President Herzog and the First Lady joined President Macron and Brigitte Macron in meeting school principal Yaacov Monsonego and his wife Yaffa, who lost their eight-year-old daughter Myriam in the massacre.
The Presidents heard from the families about their heavy loss, the challenges that have accompanied them over the past decade, and the strengthening of the Jewish community of Toulouse after the disaster, and they comforted them.
