The Knesset Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs Committee ordered a public billboard campaign starting today to locate Heymanot Kasau, missing for 841 days. The campaign, led by the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration and the Jewish Agency, includes a combined reward of one million shekels for information leading to her discovery, according to the committee.
The Knesset Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs Committee convened today for a follow-up discussion on efforts to locate Heymanot Kasau, a girl missing for 841 days. Committee chair MK Gilad Kariv announced the launch of a public billboard campaign led by the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration and the Jewish Agency, with billboards set to go up primarily in the northern city of Safed and surrounding areas, with additional signs to appear in other major cities in the coming hours, according to committee spokesperson Danny Adeno Abeba. A digital campaign is scheduled to launch on June 26. The Jewish Agency has offered a 150,000 shekel reward, and the family has pledged an additional 850,000 shekels, bringing the total reward for information leading to the girl's discovery to one million shekels. The father, Tesfai Kasau, called for coordination among all relevant government bodies and security agencies including the Shin Bet to find his daughter. The committee plans to hold another follow-up meeting in July. The campaign follows an earlier committee order today to launch the awareness effort, as The Zioneer reported earlier.
