Israeli Police Officer Turned Star: Who Is Walter, Who Found Mali and Liel Yaalomi

Israel Police Lt. Col. Walter Kogan, the police attaché in South America, became a social media hero after boarding a bus in Buenos Aires where missing Israeli women Mali and Liel Yaalomi were, introducing himself and saying, "We were very worried about you." After a brief questioning, he let them go, and they continued their journey. Kogan, a resident of Be'er Sheva, previously served as an officer in Arad, investigating property crimes, including thefts from the Milos Hotel and synagogue break-ins. His current role is diplomatic: he coordinates with police forces in Latin American countries, having met with representatives from Bolivia, Argentina, and Paraguay. The video of his appearance went viral, spawning memes, though Kogan's face was not visible in the footage. The story of the women's disappearance, who flew from Israel via Prague, Vienna, and Frankfurt to Buenos Aires, ended well.
