KATHMANDU, Dec 8: Israeli Ambassador to Nepal, Hanan Goder, has called for the release of the missing Nepali, Bipin Joshi, who is supposed to be in the captivity of the militant group Hamas.

During a program at the Israeli ambassador's residence in Kathmandu on Thursday, organized to mark Israel's national festival 'Hanukkah', Ambassador Goder showcased a photo of Bipin, a Nepali student missing since the Hamas attack. He urged Hamas to release Bipin.

Ambassador Goder demanded his immediate release on the occasion of Israel's national festival.

Despite a seven-day temporary ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, Bipin has not been released. Bipin's family has consistently appealed to the Nepal government, Israel, and Hamas for his release.
