November 12, 2021Shmuel Peleg, maternal grandfather of Eitan Biran, according to the broadcaster Kan, will appeal to the Israeli Supreme Court against the decision to return the child to Italy.



The decision after the Tel Aviv District Court's rejection of the appeal filed by the Peleg family.



"Yesterday's sentence is a heavy disaster for Eitan. He is thus torn from his family environment." This was stated by Esther Cohen Peleg - maternal grandmother of the little survivor of the Mottarone tragedy and ex wife of Shmuel Peleg, whose appeal against the first sentence in favor of Aya Biran - the child's paternal aunt and guardian - was rejected yesterday by the Tel Aviv court. "Rather than allowing him to live in a place of consolation, love, protection and defense, in his maternal family in Israel - Kan added on public radio - he is condemned to return instead to the place of tragedy and disaster in Italy" . Ronen Dlayahu, Shmuel Peleg's lawyer - against whom an international arrest warrant was issued in Italy for the kidnapping of Eitan - said he had "a week to decide whether to appeal to the Supreme Court. The decision is not easy. "" The family - he also added with public radio - lives in the feeling that they will no longer be able to see the last survivor ".



And just today in the case of Eitan Biran, the lawyers Cristina Pagni and Grazia Cesaro, who represent Aya, Eitan's paternal aunt, following the decision of the Israeli court that rejected the appeal of the maternal grandfather, declared to Adnkronos, "we we welcome the decision of the Tel Aviv District Court: a just and swift decision in the spirit of the Hague Convention. We hope for Eitan's quick return to Italy and an equally quick resolution of the proceedings pending here, so that the media hype around a complex and painful affair involving a minor who has the right to resume living with serenity and respect for his privacy ".
