Police in Austria have announced that Israeli nationals Mali and Liel Yahalomi, who have been missing for a week, have left the country on their own volition, Haaretz reports.
Meanwhile, the Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung says the mother and daughter crossed the Austrian border into Germany and from there flew out of Europe, potentially to South America.
The Yahalomi family issues a statement from Israel demanding that security agencies continue investigating all possible scenarios.
