(JNS) An Israeli citizen has been kidnapped in the Gondar region of northern Ethiopia, the foreign ministry has said.

It said a report had been received on Monday that a man had been abducted, without going into further detail.

"The Department for Israelis Abroad is in contact with his family members in Israel and is working with Interpol on the matter," a statement read.

Additionally, the Israeli consul in Addis Ababa is said to be in contact with local authorities to “bring about the release of the Israeli citizen as soon as possible, safe and sound.”
