Police asked the public for assistance on Thursday in locating 23-year-old Israeli man Amir Amberber, who has been missing since arriving in Japan about three weeks ago.
The Ramla resident left Israel on April 20 and later arrived in Japan on August 2.
Amberber is described as approximately 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 in contact with Amberber's family and are working with Japanese authorities to assist in the search efforts.
The police appeal comes as Amberber's family has approved making his missing-person status public.
Missing Israeli mother, daughter found in Argentina after disappearing in Austria
His disappearance follows the recent missing Israelis case involving mother and daughter Mali and Liel Yahalomi, who were found in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Saturday after being reported missing in Vienna, Austria, earlier in August.
The Israelis were found on an intercity bus in Buenos Aires, according to a report by the Jewish news agency in Argentina, AJN, with N12 News reporting that authorities used AI to track their whereabouts.
After the two were found, Israel Police released footage of its police representative in South America, Walter Alejandro Kogan, approaching Mali and Liel on the bus.
“Hi Mali, hi Liel. I’m Walter, the police representative in South America, okay? From the Israel Police Intelligence Division,” said Kogan. “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?”
Israel Police confirmed that its representatives had been operating in several countries under the direction of Police Commissioner Dan Levy, utilizing intelligence capabilities and conducting extensive investigative efforts that ultimately led to the discovery of the missing Israelis.
