On the 949th day since Haimanut Kassaw disappeared in Safed, her parents Tesfaye and Benchi Kassaw led a march and prayer at the Western Wall for her safe return. The family and marchers gathered at the holy site, where the parents approached the stones and offered a prayer. Tesfaye, Haimanut's mother, placed a note between the stones, pleading with "God of Israel" to return her daughter healthy and whole, promising an offering in return and asking for the health of her other children and herself. The march and prayer come amid the family's ongoing struggle to have Haimanut's disappearance case transferred to the Shin Bet, a move that has not yet been approved. Concurrently, the family is in discussions with the Jerusalem Municipality to reach a compromise that would allow them to establish a protest tent. The protest tent currently located in Shimon Aggranat Square near Cinema City in Jerusalem is expected to be dismantled after the upcoming holiday.
