Paternal family:" We didn't kidnap him. We have faith in Israeli justice "
Eitan's paternal family, who refuses to have kidnapped him, said they had" faith in Israeli justice "and said they were" optimistic "about the process.
Family law expert: "Eitan will return to Italy"
"Eitan will be sent back to Italy. There, a judge will have to decide, on the basis of the child's interest, with whom he will live." This is the belief of Abraham Dviri, an Israeli lawyer specializing in family law. The lawyer leaves no room: "The Hague Convention argues that taking a child away from the place where he lives is kidnapping and the child must return there. It does not allow justice to be done on one's own and requires the child to return to where he lives and a judge there is called to decide ". "Therefore, I believe that Eitan will be sent back to Italy and it will be an Italian judge, with a trial in Italy, who will decide" between the two families who contend for him.
An opinion that the lawyer Dviri based on his experience, one particular case: "A few years ago I represented an American from New York, who lived in the Big Apple with his Israeli wife and son. The wife decided to go to Israel for the Pesach holidays and take the baby with her, obtaining permission from her husband to stay away for three weeks. But after this time, the woman did not return to the United States but remained with her son in Israel. Well, the Israeli judge ordered the return of the child in the US, in the place where he lived ". Crucial is the timing, precisely for the good of the child: in the case of Eitan, it is not possible to know when the decision will arrive but" it will not take long ", assured Dviri. "The Hague Convention says that the sentence must be delivered very quickly"to avoid that the situation weighs more and more on the child as time passes.
