NAGPUR: Born in a town near Tel Aviv and brought up in Nagpur, Sivan Jacob Jaiswal is stranded in war-torn Israel with her three-and-half-year-old son Avielafter she was denied evacuation by Indian authorities under Operation Ajay for possessing an Israeli passport. When she couldn’t board the Air India emergency flights that brought home more than 470 Indians, Sivan appealed to Indian authorities to help her return to her husband in Nagpur.
The mother-son duo enjoys the status of ‘Overseas Citizens of India’. In January, Sivan went to Israel to complete the formalities of an Israeli passport and visa for her son and had planned to return in December.
While she is spending restless moments with her child in Bnei Brak since the October 7 attack by the Palestinian radical group Hamas, her husband Ankush is also living on the edge, watching the horror unfold on television and social media.
Ankush first met Sivan at Bishop Cotton School in Nagpur and married her in 2008. The couple was blessed with a son after a prolonged wait and medical complications during the Covid-induced lockdown in March 2020. Later, Sivan flew to Israel with her firstborn to introduce him to his family and friends. Ankush said he reposes faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and his wife and son would soon return to India.
