2,080 hours of disappearance:
The Internal Security Committee held a hearing today (Tuesday) following the disappearance of the boy Moishe Kleinerman and the police's deal with the search for missing persons.
Moishe, 16, from Modi'in Illit, has been missing for 87 days.
The last time he was seen was in the Meron area at the end of March and since then his traces have disappeared.
"I have no life. How can I take care of the other children in the house. I feel that no one is holding the Moishe affair. 2,080 hours we are in an ongoing nightmare. My head is not focused. I ask all the factors that have an impact and whatever in his story, to return "Home. At least there will be a tip of the iceberg. We have no idea what this boy is going through. Is he alive or dead. He fell into the wadi into the abyss? I have no words."
Said Moishe's mother in tears at the hearing.
His father Shmuel added that "this is a child's life and the state needs to get back on its feet. We are very afraid that this is a kidnapping. This is a child who is connected to a family that has always been in contact. Someone may be nationalist or criminal. It can not be decided."

"They did not take this story seriously"
Members of the Knesset argued to the police that there is not a feeling that they are not doing enough in this case.
MK Michael Malkieli: "87 days ago, a boy disappeared from the house and his name does not appear on the police website.
Only after intervention was it uploaded to the site.
"This indicates that there may have been neglect and that they did not take this story seriously."
MK Uriel Bosso said: “We are in a debate that should not take place in a reformed state.
No representative spoke to the family and something was wrong with the perception.
We do not come with complaints, we want to hear answers. "MK Uri Maklev:" The ultra-Orthodox public will give their all for the search for volunteers and help, but the Israeli police must intensify the search and bring the professional matter and guide what to do. "
MK Yosef Tayeb, claimed that: "There is a strong feeling that the ultra-Orthodox public is becoming type B.
It is not possible for parents to be left unanswered for 87 days.
I will not let the State of Israel be where and where. "MK Yaakov Tessler:" The feeling I got does not interest anyone. What happened to Moishe? How can it be that the parents call 100 and no one knows what it is as if an object has been lost. My life is alive. "
25,000 missing a year
Corporal Ariel Gad, head of the missing persons squad in the police, noted to the committee the procedure for searching for missing persons and said: "The police deal with 25,000 missing persons a year.
Once there is a report then the entire station mobilizes to handle this incident including investigations, detectives and more.
And if it has to do with the demarcation of another station then it too will mobilize for efforts.
Police invest a lot of resources 90% of the missing are within 24 hours.
By two to three days we reach 95% missing.
There are between 6 and 10 missing persons who are unable to locate each year.
"There are other factors that recruit them for the search efforts such as cadets and volunteers. There is a unit of volunteers set up in the Coastal District to care for the missing. It is important to note that all publication issues require family approval.

Sen. Alon Kalfon, commander of the Elite Intelligence Station, added: "We received the message about the missing person on 4.4 after 22:00 in the evening, nine days after his disappearance.
Once the message was received we started searching the area and questioning friends, analyzing cameras in different areas and more.
We have one photo that sees Moishe coming down in Zion in Meron and disappearing.
The area he disappeared into is very technical, with lots of ignorance and virtues.
There was a technical flaw that the image did not upload to the site.
My people and I are in constant contact with Gita and Shmuel his parents.
There is nothing in the world that we want and do everything to put it in the gates of the house. "Sen. Kalfon further claimed that the police did not spare resources." From abroad. But there is no one we can bring a line from her, "he said.
Committee chairman Ben-Ari asked Moishe's mother Gita why it took so long to report the absence. The mother noted that on 25.3, Friday he went to Meron to sit down.
Saturday comes out very late and I thought he went to a meeting during the week and did not call.
My husband and I thought we said not terrible, it's normal for yeshiva students to call after a week.
The following Friday he did not call.
So I turned to the yeshiva and friends and we were suddenly told that they really did not see him.
I did not want to embarrass him and report to the police during the Sabbath that they would put his pictures.
And on Sunday night we went to the police. "
Chief of Staff Rami Brachiahu, the rabbi of the police, commented on the words of the Knesset members and said: "I am responsible for the connection between the religious and ultra-Orthodox world and the police.
Raised hard feelings about a child with a black cap or not.
The police do everything to search and locate regardless of the child's origin .. I am in touch with the family and I update on what I can update.
"There is no difference in the police's searches for children of one kind or another."
Brigadier General Maurice Chen, Deputy District Commander of the SJ Police: "Every station, area and district commander knows that it is a priority to deal with these incidents. From the moment we received the items, we acted with everything at our disposal at that moment. There are a lot of IDF forces, volunteers, cavalry, police for tomorrow's scans, about 300 people.
And I have every hope that he will arrive home quickly and healthy and intact. "
The committee chairman, Ben Ari, summed up the discussion “I think we need to step up a real step in the search.
Tomorrow's operation, which is a complex operation by the police, is too small.
"It indicates the priority of the police, this issue is very important to us, it is in our minds, if there is anything we as MKs can take advantage of our social platforms if it is in the networks please share us let us know. Give us the ability to assist you in the search efforts."
