After 51 days, 23-year-old Ron Krivoy, a Russian citizen who was kidnapped from the party, was released Sunday evening. This came after Hamas announced his release this morning "at the personal request of Russian President Putin."

Foreign Minister Eli Cohen's assistance in Krivoy's case contributed to his release, despite Hamas' refusal to release adult men. Cohen met the family after they approached businessman David Azoulay, a member of the Likud Central Committee. Foreign Ministry officials helped the family get a meeting with the Russian embassy in Israel.

Subsequently, the ministry coordinated a trip to Russia for the family, and meetings with senior officials there scheduled for today. Although at this stage they were probably no longer needed, since already this morning, as mentioned, Hamas announced the release of Krivoy.
