Jerusalem Municipality Extends Protest Tent for Missing Girl's Family

The Jerusalem Municipality has approved a two-week extension for a protest tent erected near the Supreme Court, advocating for the return of Haimanut Kassaw, who has been missing since February 25, 2024. Kassaw, who was 9 years old at the time of her disappearance, was last seen on security cameras at the absorption center on Ha'Tzahal Street in Safed, distributing flyers. The extension was granted in full coordination with Kassaw's family and the protest headquarters. As part of the agreement, the family and protest representatives committed to fully vacating the tent by October 22, at the end of the extended period. This resolution was reached after the family decided to withdraw a legal petition they had filed on the matter. The Jerusalem Municipality stated that it will maintain ongoing contact with the family and discuss further assistance and support measures.
