Ofri Bibas, sister of former hostage Yarden Bibas, visited a protest camp on Wednesday in support of the family of Haymanut Kassau, a young girl who has been missing from Safed for nearly three years. Bibas, who is also the sister-in-law of Shiri Bibas and aunt to Ariel and Kfir Bibas, both killed in Hamas captivity, met with Haymanut Kassau's parents. She criticized what she described as insufficient efforts to locate the teenager, stating, "Haymanut has been missing for almost a thousand days and everything is not being done to find her." Bibas drew a parallel to her own family's ordeal, noting, "It is sad to see that a family has to fight for something that should be a given, as we had to do." She added a somber reflection on her nephews, "For my nephews, it was too late. They were not saved in time." Bibas joined the Kassau family's call for the Shin Bet to take over the investigation into Haymanut's disappearance. She appealed to the Israeli public, "I ask the people of Israel to come and support the family in their camp in Jerusalem, as you were there for us."
