Israeli man missing in Japan for over three weeks, authorities seek public's assistance in search

Japanese police are appealing for public help in finding Amir Amberber, a 23-year-old Israeli national who disappeared shortly after arriving in Japan approximately three weeks ago. Amberber, who hails from Ramla, Israel, arrived in Japan on August 2, having departed from Israel on April 20.

Amberber is described as being around 1.7 meters tall with a thin build, brown hair, and black eyes. The Israeli Consulate in Tokyo and the Foreign Ministry's Israelis in Distress Abroad Department are actively engaged with Amberber's family and are cooperating with Japanese authorities to aid in the search. The police's public appeal follows the family's consent to publicize his status as a missing person.

This case comes shortly after the widely reported incident involving Israeli mother and daughter Mali and Liel Yahalomi. They were found safe in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after disappearing earlier in August while in Vienna, Austria. Authorities reportedly used artificial intelligence to track their location before they were discovered on an intercity bus. Israeli police representatives were seen on footage approaching the mother and daughter, expressing relief and concern.

Hi Mali, hi Liel. I’m Walter, the police representative in South America, okay? From the Israel Police Intelligence Division. I want to ask you a few questions. We were very worried about you, okay? I’m going to get everyone off the bus, and then we’ll talk, okay?
