Two Israeli sisters, Mali and Liel Yahalomi, have been arrested in Namibia after being found with forged passports, according to reports. Their family in Israel expressed shock and disbelief upon learning of the arrest, stating they had no knowledge of the sisters' whereabouts or their presence in the African country. A relative described the news as "falling on us like a thunderclap out of the blue," emphasizing that the sisters had been out of contact with the family since previous developments in their case.
The sisters' journey to Namibia follows their disappearance two months prior during a family trip in Europe. Initially, a search was conducted amid concerns they might be in distress, but it later emerged they had likely left voluntarily. They were subsequently located in Argentina, revealing a different narrative than initially assumed, with reports suggesting they wished to start new lives away from their previous environment.
It remains unclear how long Mali and Liel Yahalomi were in Namibia, the circumstances of their arrival, or the origin of the fake passports. The legal proceedings against them in Namibia are also yet to be clarified, and the family remains unaware of the details surrounding their current situation.
