Sources revealed that the sisters chose to return specifically on October 7, hoping to escape the intense public spotlight surrounding their disappearance. They reportedly realized the extent of the public attention their case garnered after weeks away and decided to come back to Israel to recover from their experiences.
Police have stated that the sisters are not suspects and that the case concluded after their meeting with Walter in Argentina. A senior police official told Channel 14 News, "We want to clarify that the Mali and Liel incident ended after their meeting with Walter in Argentina. All the rumors from the past day are not related to us, and it would be better if they were left alone to live their lives."
Their lawyer, Shani Ben Shushan, commented on their return, stating, "They are not enemies of the people, they stole and did not murder, they want to come home after all they have been through. Today is October 7, let's focus on that. They have returned for good."
Earlier reports of the sisters' arrest in Africa were clarified as a case of mistaken identity, with a Chabad emissary identifying the women involved as an Iranian mother and daughter. The sisters' return journey to Israel was confirmed by midday.
