Romania confirms three citizens being held hostage by Hamas
Romania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs says that two more Romanian citizens are among the hostages being held in the Gaza Strip, bringing the total number of Romanian hostages to three.
The ministry said that Romania’s embassy in Tel Aviv and its consulate in Haifa are in contact with the Israeli authorities over the matter. All three hostages hold dual Romanian-Israeli citizenship.
Since Hamas launched its bloody onslaught against Israel on October 7, at least five Romanian citizens, all of whom resided in Israel and held dual Israeli citizenship, have been confirmed dead.
