Mother and daughter fled Israel with careful planning, say investigators

Investigators looking into the disappearance of mother-and-daughter pair Mali and Liel Yehalom have begun uncovering details of their carefully orchestrated escape. According to law enforcement sources, the women withdrew approximately €14,000 (around £12,000) before boarding their flight, suggesting the disappearance was a planned operation rather than an abduction. “It was clear this was their own initiative,” a police official said, indicating that both women were willing participants in the departure.

The investigation has revealed that the pair eventually landed in Argentina, triggering significant concern among Israeli authorities about the possibility they might flee to yet another country. The choice of Argentina as their initial destination suggests they may have had connections or plans in place before leaving Israel. Police sources indicate they are now working to track their movements across international borders and understand why they selected this particular South American destination.

Details regarding Officer Walter’s involvement and the constraints placed upon him during the investigation remain unclear, though his role appears to be central to understanding how the women managed to leave the country undetected. The case has raised questions about how the pair coordinated their departure, including whether external assistance was provided in securing travel documents and arranging their destination.
