The parents of a Palestinian teenager burned alive by Israelis in the lead-up to the 2014 war on Gaza have denounced an Israeli court for not giving two offenders life sentences.
The court on Thursday announced that one Israeli has been sentenced to life in prison, while another was given 21 years in prison for the abduction and subsequent murder of 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir in East Jerusalem. Suha Abu Khdeir said the court should have given both Israelis life sentences for their roles in the death of her son.
Abu Khdeir was kidnapped in East Jerusalem and taken to a forest outside the city. He was tortured and burned alive.
