On the other hand, according to French hostage Michel Cojot-Goldberg, the captors failed to identify at least one Israeli among the passengers who was a military officer with dual citizenship then using his non-Israeli passport and he was later freed as part of the second release of non-Israeli hostages.
Dock misslyckades kaparna enligt den gisslantagna fransmannen Michel Cojot-Goldberg med att identifiera minst en israelisk militärofficer med dubbelt medborgarskap bland passagerarna, som använde sitt icke-israeliska pass under resan, varför han senare kunde befrias under den andra frigivningen av de gisslantagna icke-israelerna.
