01 · THE DISPATCH

The boyfriend of a 17-year-old girl from Rosh HaAyin who died by suicide last week has denied responsibility for her death, claiming the relationship had ended before her suicide and that the family's allegations of abuse are unfounded. In a response relayed through his new partner, also a minor, Ivan Sirbu, 22, said the parents are 'trying to clear themselves' by blaming him. He also denied physical, mental, and financial abuse, which the family had alleged in previous statements. The case has drawn public attention due to the age gap and the circumstances of the relationship. The family's original accusations were reported by The Zioneer on Sunday. Sirbu's response was published on the account of journalist Daniel Amram. No further details about the family's reaction have been reported.
