Israeli man missing in Japan for over three weeks, authorities seek public's assistance in search
The appeal comes following approval from 23-year-old Amir Amberber's family to make his status as a missing person public.
Israeli authorities have issued an urgent appeal for public assistance in the search for 23-year-old Amir Amberber, who has been missing in Japan for over three weeks. The Ramla resident arrived in Japan on August 2, after departing Israel on April 20. Amberber, described as being around 1.7 meters tall, slim-built, with brown hair and black eyes, is currently the subject of a joint effort between the Israeli Consulate in Tokyo, the Foreign Ministry's Israelis in Distress Abroad Department, and local Japanese authorities.
The Israeli Consulate in Tokyo and Foreign Ministry's Israelis in Distress Abroad Department have been in contact with Amberber's family throughout the search process. In light of the family's approval, Amberber's missing-person status has been made public.
This search for Amberber comes amidst a recent case involving Israeli mother and daughter, Mali and Liel Yahalomi, who were found safe in Argentina after being reported missing in Vienna, Austria. The two were discovered on an intercity bus in Buenos Aires, with Israeli police utilizing AI technology to track their whereabouts. The Israeli police representative in South America, Walter Alejandro Kogan, approached the pair on the bus, expressing concern for their well-being.
The Israelis Police Commissioner, Dan Levy, oversees police representatives operating in various countries, allowing for extensive investigative efforts to be conducted. This, coupled with the utilization of intelligence capabilities, has led to the successful recovery of the missing Israelis in Argentina.
