Western diplomats called Tuesday for Hamas to release the remaining hostages it is holding in the Gaza Strip, as they marked 200 days since the Hamas attack on Israel.

"200 days ago, Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust," British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said on X. "200 days on, hostages remain in captivity, and their loved ones continue to face unimaginable suffering."
