The Israel Defense Forces have informed that Nepali student Bipin Joshi, abducted by Hamas during the 2023 attack, is no longer alive. Nepal’s government remains cautiously hopeful pending final verification.
Two years after the Hamas attack, Nepali student Bipin Joshi is still held captive. His mother and sister have traveled to the United States, seeking UN support and international solidarity for his safe release.
Nepal’s RPP leader Kamal Thapa warns that taking Bipin Joshi’s parents to the United Nations to increase pressure for his release from Hamas may backfire, urging the government to explore alternative approaches.
Israel is reportedly prepared to agree to a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, with mediation from Qatar and Egypt. Trump says Hamas may also accept the deal as talks progress.
