Serbia Welcomes Hostage Release Announcement, Including Alon Ohel

"We are deeply relieved by the news that our citizen, Alon Ohel, could be among those to be released in the first phase of this arrangement,” Vučić told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.

He added that Serbia has followed his situation with great concern from the very beginning and has quietly, through diplomatic channels, supported efforts aimed at his safe return.

Back in May, Vučić revealed to The Post that he had personally reached out to Arab leaders seeking their help in securing Ohel’s release.

Speaking about the agreement overall, Vučić emphasized that Serbia welcomes the deal brokered between Israel and Hamas, with the mediation of the United States, seeing it as an important step toward de-escalation and restoring peace in the region.

The young man, who holds dual citizenship, was attending the "Nova" music festival when Hamas terrorists stormed into Israel.

His family revealed in April that freed hostages informed them Ohel is now blind in one eye.

All hostages, both alive and deceased, are expected to be returned to Israel no later than Monday.
