  "account": "Yeros Kasau, the sister of nine-year-old Haymanut Kasau, who has been missing for over 900 days since her disappearance in Safed in 2024, has criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Shin Bet Chief David Zini for their lack of effort in the search. Yeros made these remarks in a podcast interview, stating that when there is determination, missing persons can be found promptly. She cited the case of Mali and Liel Yahalomi, Israeli nationals who went missing in Vienna in August and were located in Buenos Aires within a week. Yeros expressed her disappointment, asking, \"What do we need to do so that you [Shin Bet] will have the will to bring her home?\" She emphasized that the family remains committed to the search and refuses to lose hope. The Kasau family has also called for the immediate establishment of a Special Investigative Team comprising Shin Bet elements to solve the mystery surrounding Haymanut's disappearance.",
  "summary": "\"When there is a will, we saw that things can indeed be done,\" said Yeros in a sit-down with her father on Maariv's Education on the Agenda podcast.",
