Missing Israeli's Brother Criticizes Israeli Government and Greek Police

The brother of an Israeli man, Ami Yogev, who has been missing in Greece since climbing Mount Olympus, has expressed deep frustration with the lack of professional and technological assistance from the Israeli government and the Greek police investigation. Shlomi stated that his family feels largely alone in their efforts, receiving only minimal support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He pleaded for Israeli intelligence agencies like the Shin Bet or Mossad to be involved, not necessarily for manpower, but to utilize their capabilities to locate Yogev's device and track his movements.

Shlomi also criticized the Greek police investigation, calling it a "joke" and stating that the assigned detective lacked technological expertise. This criticism is directed at the investigative and technological aspects, not the extensive physical search efforts by Greek rescue teams on the mountain, which the family acknowledges and appreciates. The family has gathered additional digital information suggesting Yogev may have deviated from the trail while trying to find his way back, coinciding with the time communication was lost, but this has not yet led to his location.

Search efforts are ongoing, with the family working to secure additional funding for local guides and forces to expand the search into difficult terrain. Yogev, 46, arrived in Greece with an open-ended ticket and was last heard from after ascending Mount Olympus. His rental car was found with his belongings inside, but he has not been seen or heard from since. As time passes, the family's sense of helplessness grows, with Shlomi emphasizing the urgent need for professional and technological aid to turn the collected information into a tangible lead.
