I don't know what the dual citizenship with China is now. May have changed.
When I became a Canadian, I had to give up Dutch citizenship at the time, Netherlands did not allow dual. Later, I became a French citizen through marriage, then also a US citizen when I immigrated here. I have triple now. Later Netherlands changed their policy, so now if I wish I can regain that again.
I have Chinese friends here but have no idea if they're dual.
Please let Noa come home.
We want an eighth day and beyond.
The mediators are currently making strong, intense and continuous efforts for an additional day in the truce and then working to extend it again for other days,” the source said.

Today's Hamas hostages released to Israel
In the last hour or so, six hostages have been released by Hamas and are back inside Israel. They are:
Earlier this afternoon, two others were also released:
- Shani Goren, 29
- Nili Margalit, 41
- Ilana Gritzewsky, 30
- Sapir Cohen, 29
- Bilal Zyadna, 18
- Aisha Zyadna, 16
The Qatari foreign ministry confirmed today's overall tally of 10 hostages has been reached, because two Russian-Israeli dual-nationals released on Wednesday have been included in Thursday's count.
- Mia Shem, 21
- Amit Soussana, 40
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has released a statement welcoming the newly returned:
I don't think dual citizenship in principle exists, except for a few countries bound by special agreements. Logically, dual citizenship opens one up for internment should their country of birth and that of the citizenship declare war to one another. The last citizenship is the "true one". It is another thing that many countries don't make you formally renounce prior citizenship due to taxes or property reasons, but the legal view of the situation is complicated.
Dissent, and a generation gap, inside the U.S. government over Israel
When civilians began dying in Gaza, said one U.S. official, “we all know the tools they used to kill them,” referring to Israeli weapons supplied by the U.S.www.nbcnews.com
The Biden administration is facing growing internal dissent over its support for Israel’s military assault on Hamas in Gaza, reflecting a wider debate in American society and a generational divide among Democrats over the issue.
The extraordinary scope of the dissent inside the government, including statements in open letters from government employees, goes beyond anything seen in previous administrations dating back to the 1980s, including during the Iraq War and President Donald Trump’s restrictions on travel from mainly Muslim states, former officials said.
'A mass assassination factory': Inside Israel's calculated bombing of Gaza.I saw an article earlier that said that Blinken is working hard to have Israel not perform such severe operations in south Gaza as it did in the north.
Blinken: You can’t operate in southern Gaza in the way you did in the north. There are two million Palestinians there. You need to evacuate fewer people from their homes, be more accurate in the attacks, not hit UN facilities, and ensure that there are enough protected areas [for civilians]. And if not? Then not to attack where there is a civilian population. What is your system of operation?
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: The entire Israeli society is united behind the goal of dismantling Hamas, even if it takes months.
Blinken: I don’t think you have the credit for that.
Hyenas circling their prey. Disgusting.With the sound fully on ... notice how the enraged and excited crowd screams louder when the hostage is taken from one vehicle to another ?
Almost like carnivorous animals smelling blood.
Omo.
Hyenas circling their prey. Disgusting.
IMO
What a good man Mr Blinken is. And a brave one.
I didn't really know anything about him before.
