Director of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights Raji Al-Sourani said during a press conference in Gaza, "What happened yesterday and the Israeli Supreme Court's rejection of this petition shortens procedures that spanned over 8 years, as it refuses to reopen the investigation into this file and closes it, which means that no crime has occurred from their point of view." Sourani pointed out that the Israeli judiciary "constitutes a legal cover for war crimes committed against the Palestinians."
Al-Sourani stressed that they must exhaust all necessary legal procedures before the Israeli judiciary "before we go to work in international courts."
3 human rights organizations had submitted a petition in 2020: "Adalah", which is the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) by the Director General of "Adala".
The petitioners demanded the court to annul the decision of the Public Prosecutor, who rejected an appeal submitted by the three institutions, against closing the investigation into the case, and to order the opening of a criminal investigation leading to the trial of those responsible for the murder.
The Public Prosecutor announced his decision in 2019, and fully adopted the Military Prosecutor's decision to close the investigation.
