The family of Haimenot Kassao, who disappeared 967 days ago, is holding a public gathering in Jerusalem to mark the occasion and call for support. Haimenot was last seen at the absorption center in Tzfat at the age of 9. The family has invited the public to join them for an evening of song and solidarity at their tent in Sussman Square, near Cinema City, on Monday evening at 7:15 PM. Attendees are encouraged to bring musical instruments.

The family's campaign to secure Haimenot's return has intensified recently, particularly since all hostages were returned from Gaza. They have been joined by former hostages and families of those who have returned, including Shelly Shem Tov, mother of Omer Shem Tov, who has attended support rallies. Hostage survivor Eli Sharabi, accompanied by his brother Sharon, also visited the family's Sukkot (temporary dwelling) erected near the Prime Minister's residence, calling his visit a "duty and a mitzvah" to offer hope and support to the "modest, quiet family" who appear "a bit lost."

In related news, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid sent an urgent letter to David Zini, head of the General Security Service, requesting an immediate meeting with Haimenot Kassao's parents.
