Two Israeli tourists were killed in the crash, in which some 15 people were also injured. The Foreign Ministry has not specified how many of those hurt were Israeli.
The crash near the Georgian city of Batumi occurred days before the Jewish New Year, with many Israelis traveling for the holiday.
The ministry also said Saturday that Israeli Ambassador Hadas Meitzad and other embassy officials were in touch with the Israeli medical teams and family members who traveled to Georgia.

The crash occurred when a minibus the Israeli tourists were riding in collided with another vehicle in southern Georgia, which has become an increasingly popular tourist destination for Israelis in recent years, drawn by the hiking and its spectacular mountain scenery.
In October 2016, two Israeli children were killed and four other members of the same family seriously injured when the car they were in plunged into a gorge in the remote mountainous Tusheti region in the northeast part of the country during a storm.
