A protest march and rally will be held next Wednesday, November 18, to mark 1,000 days since the disappearance of 9-year-old Haimanut the mother from a reception center in Safed. Her parents, Tesfaye and Benchi the mother, initially hoped for a swift return, but the milestone of 1,000 days has led their advocacy group to believe she was abducted, stating, "young girls don't just disappear."
The advocacy group, "The Struggle Headquarters for Haimanut the mother," expressed frustration with the ongoing police investigation, which they claim has yielded no leads, possibilities, or searches. They question the country's response to a missing child, emphasizing that "it is clear to every citizen, police officer, and security force member that the investigation is not being conducted properly."
In light of the perceived inaction and stalemate, the headquarters is urgently calling for the investigation to be transferred to the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency). They argue that if this is how a child's disappearance is investigated, then "every citizen in Israel should be concerned about the safety of their children and their personal well-being."
The march will commence from Tel Aviv's Savidor Central train station and proceed to Hostages Square, where a central rally will take place. The headquarters is urging the public to attend in large numbers to support the family and demand that decision-makers do everything possible to bring Haimanut home.
