In December 2022, a Jerusalem court sentenced Arafat Irafaiya, a Palestinian terrorist from Hebron with family ties to Hamas who had spent time in an Israeli prison, to life in jail for the February 2019 murder and rape of nineteen-year-old Israeli, Ori Ansbacher.
In June 2023 Shurat HaDin filed a NIS 30 million lawsuit on behalf of Ori’s mother against the terrorist in the District Court of Jerusalem for the rape and murder of Ori. We intend to seize the monthly stipends that the Palestinian Authority pays the terrorist for assaulting and murdering Ori, the so-called “pay for slay” policy program. By going after these payments, we will force the terrorists and the Palestinian Authority that supports their acts of murder of Jews to pay a heavy price for their actions. The fight against terrorism must also continue along economic lines.
