From Ukraine ‘kidnapping’ a misunderstanding, foreign ministry says
An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson says no Israelis were kidnapped in Ukraine and the incident was a local dispute.
Emmanuel Nahshon says the supposed “kidnapping” was actually just a money dispute between the bus driver and locals.
“Because of the language barrier and stress on the women, tension was created and there was an inaccurate report,” he says.
He says the issue was dealt with by local police, and the money dispute was solved.
“The bus has been freed and is on its way to the airport,” he adds. “Nobody was kidnapped.”
