An Israeli businessman in his 40s was found deceased in a restaurant in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. The man, described as being in good health, went to the restroom during his meal and did not return. His body was discovered in the restroom after others went to look for him. While the circumstances of his death are still under investigation, authorities are exploring the possibility of poisoning as the cause. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Department for Israelis Abroad, along with Israel's consul in Addis Ababa, is providing support to the deceased's family. They are coordinating with Ethiopian and Israeli authorities to expedite the necessary procedures for returning the body to Israel for burial. It is expected that an autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death. This incident occurs against a backdrop of security concerns in Ethiopia, including a prior event two months ago where a group of Israelis was evacuated by helicopter from Lalibela due to escalating security tensions in northern Ethiopia, eventually reaching Addis Ababa.
