‘I’ve reached the limit of how much I can worry’: brother joins search for missing Israelis in Vienna
Ronen Yahalomi says his sister Mali had only half a day to prepare for the surprise trip organized by her daughter Liel, dismissing speculation surrounding her banking job as Austrian and Israeli authorities investigate how the pair vanished without a trace
Ronen Yahalomi, Mali's older brother, has traveled to Vienna to assist in the search for his sister and her daughter, who have been missing since Friday. Describing the situation as reaching the limit of his worry, Ronen has been in contact with Austrian authorities, Israeli officials, and members of Vienna's Jewish community while the search continues.
The disappearance of the two women has prompted an extensive investigation, with the Mossad reportedly also involved. Mali, who had no prior notice of the trip, had organized a surprise birthday celebration for her mother in Vienna, with Liel handling the logistics. The family is puzzled by the sudden disappearance, as the women's phones were last located near a public park near Vienna's main railway station.
Their travel plans, especially their decision to leave the rented apartment on Saturday and carry their belongings, remain unexplained. All possibilities are being examined in the investigation.
