The police proved how long its arm is, but what about Haymanot?
For a week, Israel was on edge following the disappearance of Mali and Liel Yachmoor in Vienna. They were found in Argentina after extensive search efforts. The author praises the capabilities, but raises a question about Haymanot Kasau, a missing girl for 900 days, and wonders why similar efforts are not invested in her case.
For a week, the State of Israel was on edge following the disappearance of Mali and Liel Yachmoor, a mother and daughter, in Vienna. They had gone to celebrate the mother's 50th birthday and vanished without a trace. The initial fear was abduction, but the Austrian police claimed they left voluntarily. After extensive search efforts, including alleged involvement of the Mossad, the two were found on a bus in Argentina. A police representative addressed them in Hebrew, and they were released. The author praises the state's capabilities, but raises a troubling question: why does Haymanot Kasau, a 9-year-old girl missing for 900 days, not receive the same efforts? He argues that if she had disappeared from a more central location, more resources would have been invested. The author criticizes the inequality in handling cases, noting that Haymanot's family tries to draw attention through protests.
