Israeli Regime Released Extremist Linked to Burning Palestinian Infant

Israeli Regime Released Extremist Linked to Burning Palestinian Infant

Alwaght- Israeli Regime has released the Israeli settler who was behind the arson attack on a Palestinian family in the occupied West Bank.

Earlier this month, Israeli prosecutors decided not to extend the administrative detention of Meir Ettinger, who was freed on Wednesday after being detained for 10 months without being charged for leading a terror group.

The 24-year-old settler was arrested in August 2015 for leading Israeli attackers who firebombed a Palestinian home and killed three members of the family. The victims were an 18-month-old boy and his parents.

The violent attack attracted global outrage and condemnation, as UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has described the it as a “terrorist act”.

Ettinger was banned from entering the West Bank for a year and barred from contacting certain radical activists for six months, according to the agency.

Jamal Dajani, a spokesman for the Palestinian government said Ettinger “will be now allowed to roam free and put Palestinian lives in danger.”

Ettinger’s grandfather, controversial American-Israeli lobbyist Meir Kahane, founded the so-called Jewish Defense League in New York in 1968.

He was a radical figure who encouraged violence against Israel’s enemies and lobbied to expel Arabs from the occupied Palestinian territory. He became a member of Knesset (Israel’s parliament) and was later expelled from it.

Ettinger’s release has been seen by many as emblematic of what activists and rights groups have called a “culture of impunity” for Israeli settlers and soldiers committing violent acts against Palestinians, while also providing a unique example of administrative detention being used against an Israeli.
