Israeli Ambassador to Nepal Hanan Goder met the relatives of two Nepali students killed in Hamas attacks.

Ambassador Goder reached the homes of the relatives of Narayan Prasad Neupane of Ghodaghodi Municipality-4 and Ashish Chaudhary of Joshipur Rural Municipality-5 who had gone to Israel on ‘Learn and Earn program, and lost their lives in the Hamas attacks.

Ten Nepali students of agriculture from Sudur Paschim University working at Kibbutz Alumim of Sedot Negev Agriculture Centre in southern Israel were killed in the Hamas attacks on October 7.

Ambassador Goder, who had reached Tikapur to attend the condolence assembly organized by the School of Agriculture on Tuesday, met all the relatives of the deceased.

“Before leaving for Israel, I had asked each of the students about their future plans,” the ambassador said, adding, “They had left for Israel with plans to learn some new technologies and return to Nepal. Unfortunately, they lost their lives in Hamas attacks, leaving all of us saddened.”

Sympathizing with the relatives of the deceased, Ambassador Goder said the relatives of each student, who lost their lives in Israel, are like the family of Israel.

“They had gone to Israel as guests. After the incident, they are the members of our family. You are our family,” the ambassador told the relatives of Neupane, adding, “We will provide you with the services and facilities that Israeli citizens get on a monthly basis. Israel will be with you forever.”

While meeting the relatives of Ashish Chaudhary, Ambassador Goder said that the incident was the height of cruelty.

“Hamas terrorists killed people indiscriminately. They left no one from foreigners, children to women,” he said.

Meanwhile, he told Sudurpaschim Province Chief Minister Kamal Bahadur Shah that Israel will take any kind of steps for the safe release of Bipin Joshi, who is said to be in Hamas' captivity.
