Another person with dual Israeli and Romanian citizenship, residing in the State of Israel, died, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) reported on Monday.
Until now, according to the information provided by the Israeli authorities, five people with dual Israeli-Romanian citizenship, residing in the State of Israel, have died, and one person is being notified as a hostage in the Gaza Strip.
The Embassy of Romania in Tel Aviv and the Consulate General of Romania in Haifa have so far not received requests for consular support regarding the disappearance or death of other Romanian citizens in the State of Israel and they constantly maintain contact with the authorities in this country, MAE says.
The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Radu Filip, told Digi24 that he demanded the immediate release of all the people held hostage by Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, including the citizen with dual citizenship, Israeli and Romanian, residing in Israel.
“Our position was unequivocal, we requested, including through the voice of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the immediate release of all hostages, including the citizen with dual citizenship, Israeli and Romanian, residing in Israel, who is in the Gaza Strip. It is not a singular case, there are other citizens who are in the same situation, of various nationalities, with various citizenships, but so far we are only talking about one citizen, with Israeli and Romanian citizenships”, Radu Filip stated.
