At Sigd celebrations in Jerusalem, the Ethiopian Jewish holiday marking the community's renewal of its covenant with God, the photograph of Haymanot Kasau, a girl missing since February 2024, was again on display, the Jerusalem Post said in an 11 November 2026 editorial. The young Ethiopian Israeli girl disappeared in Safed in February 2024, when she was nine, near the absorption center where her family lived after immigrating from Ethiopia. The Post said her family still has no answer more than two and a half years later and that her parents have repeatedly expressed frustration with the authorities, saying too little has been done to find her. Posters of the girl stood near the entrance of Monday's ceremony on Jerusalem's Tayelet Haas Promenade, and children wore stickers bearing her photograph. The Post called for regular, clear updates for the family and for wider public concern, arguing that the case should not be followed chiefly by her own community.
