Jewish terrorist who killed Palestinian family said allowed conjugal visits |
The Jewish terrorist who firebombed a home in the Palestinian West Bank village of Duma in 2015, killing a baby and his parents, will be allowed conjugal visits with his wife for the first time since he went behind bars 10 years ago, according to Hebrew media.
Amiram Ben Uliel, now 31, was arrested in December 2015 for the attack the previous July, which killed 18-month-old Ali Dawabsha, along with parents Sa’ad and Riham, and injured then-5-year-old Ahmed. He was convicted in 2020 and given three life sentences.
The attack sparked widespread outcry in Israel and globally, and drew attention to rising Jewish extremism in the West Bank. An accomplice, who was underage at the time of the attack, was also convicted and sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison.
Previous requests for conjugal visits, including two filed by Ben Uliel’s attorney over the past year, have been rejected on the basis that he still posed a danger and had become a symbol for the far right.
But according to Hebrew media reports, security officials recently met with Ben Uliel and assessed that the danger he poses has decreased after a decade behind bars.
