00:00 The Israeli representative to Taiwan has called for the safe release of hostages being held
00:05 by Hamas militants.
00:07 Meir Yaron made the call during a vigil at Israel's office in Taipei.
00:12 She says Israel's military has rescued one hostage but hasn't had any updates on the
00:17 condition of the 242 still being held captive.
00:21 She thanked the Taiwanese community for its support after her office received hundreds
00:26 of flowers, candles and cards from schools, families and individuals.
00:31 Yaron also asked for support from the international community.
00:36 We need to do everything that we have in power to have an international voice that is very
00:44 clear saying you do not harm civilians, you do not kidnap civilians.
00:51 If this was done in Israel and the world will not stand strong against this, it will happen
00:58 in Taiwan, it will happen in other countries.
