President Herzog Confirms Shin Bet's Involvement in Search for Missing Haimnot Kasao
Israeli President Isaac Herzog met with the family of Haimnot Kasao, who has been missing for about two and a half years, at the President's Residence on August 25, 2026. During the meeting, Herzog informed the family about new developments in the search efforts, emphasizing that Kasao is regarded as "a child of all Israel" and that the entire nation cares deeply about her.
Herzog revealed that following a request from the Israel Police, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) has recently joined the investigation and is fully involved in the search operations. This marks a significant escalation in the efforts to locate Kasao.
Kasao's father expressed concern over potential discrimination and called for urgent intervention, stressing the need for intensified and equitable search efforts. The collaboration between the police and Shin Bet aims to enhance the chances of finding the missing woman.
The meeting underscores the state's commitment to resolving the case and supporting the family amid their ongoing distress. Further updates on the investigation are anticipated as the joint efforts continue.
