  "account": "The family of Haymanot Kasau, who has been missing for over 900 days, is demanding equal resources and investigation techniques used in the case of Mali and Liel Yahalomi, who were found safe in Argentina after just a week. The Israel Police used all their capabilities to locate Mali and Liel, but the family believes the same should be applied to their daughter's disappearance. Haymanot's parents, Benchi and Tesfaye Kasau, expressed their relief at the safe return of Mali and Liel, but lamented that their own daughter, Haymanot, has not been found after 902 days. They argue that the Israel Police, led by Inspector-General Danny Levy, has not done enough to locate Haymanot, despite using all their resources. The parents have called for the investigation to be transferred to the Shin Bet (Israeli Security Agency), citing the agency's involvement in other high-profile cases, such as weapons trafficking and organized crime. They have also released a letter from Tesfaye Kasau to the Shin Bet chief, David Zini, expressing their frustration with the lack of progress in the investigation.",
