Haymanut Kasau, a nine-year-old Ethiopian girl, has been missing since February 25, 2024. Her family reported on Monday that they have been receiving updates about her case from the media rather than from police officials, raising concerns about the investigation's transparency. Despite a meeting with police where they were informed of no progress, the family insists they deserve direct communication from law enforcement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the search for Kasau, drawing a parallel between her case and the efforts to rescue hostages taken during the October 7, 2023 attacks. Kasau was last seen near an absorption center in Safed, Israel, where security footage captured her at the entrance. She immigrated to Israel from Ethiopia with her family in 2021. Following her disappearance, search efforts were halted for about three weeks but have since resumed. The family has consistently argued that the circumstances surrounding her disappearance indicate a possible abduction, emphasizing the urgency for her safe return.
