Cleared for publication: Murder of Arami hy"d - nationalist attack

Following the family's struggle, the Court permitted to publish today (Wednesday), that Nathanel Arami hy"d was murdered for nationalistic reasons. His family will receive confirmation as victims of terror. Three Arabs were arrested and released.

The Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court this morning received the request filed by attorney Hur Uriel Nizri of Honeinu organization, and permitted the publication that Nethanel Roi Arami hy"d, who was killed while snepling in Petah Tikva, was killed in a nationalist attack carried out by Arabs.

Judge Merav Greenberg released that "in the investigation three suspects were arrested and interrogated by the General Security Service and the Israel Police on suspicion they were involved in causing the death for a nationalistic motive. The three were released after a long investigation, after examining the case at the Prosecutor's Office, and since there was no legal justification for continued detention. The investigation is continued".

In addition, the court allowed for publication that family Arami received a document from the police confirming that they were "victims of terror".

Attorney Hur Uriel Nizri of the Honeinu organization spoke after the hearing: "It is important to say that so far no public or government factor has contacted the family members, although things were known and clear. In addition, we ask the President, as he knew to reach other victims of terror, to come as Citizen no. 1 and comfort his family's, when Nathanel Arami was killed because he was Jewish. We thank the court for its decision and we call the various government authorities to come and do their role. We call on the Shin Bet and the police to continue to investigate and carry out the necessary investigation. However we are in pain and regret that we had to arrive at the entrance of the court to receive what is most sensible and clear of all".

The response of the mother of Nathanel Arami, Miriam: "It is important for us that things are published, that everyone knows the truth and know that Nathanel went to work and never came back, but was murdered for being a Jew. All the shutting of mouths and attempted cover-up did not succeed. We, with G-d's help, gave a promise to Nathanel two weeks ago when we were with him at the cemetery on his birthday, we will not rest until they find the killers. We are angry about the fact that no government official as the President and the Prime Minister did not come to comfort us and did not even console us by phone. Everyone consoled Abu Hader, he is probably more important for them than my son's blood. "

Minister of Public Security said regarding the statements this morning that Nathanel Arami was murdered for nationalistic reasons: Do not look for malicious intent in police conduct.

Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonowitz addressed the issue during a response to queries in the Knesset. MK Orit Sitruk (Jewish Home) turned to him and said: "It was clear that the rappelling ropes were cut by a malicious hand. Why did you refrain from saying it was an attack? Why do did you prevent from the victim a funeral as one killed in a terrorist attack? Why did you prevent from the family a proper attitude?"

Minister Aharonowitz replied: "In terms of results, with no knowledge and if not sure if it is going towards the criminal field or HTA, one can not say if this was an attack or not, when things are not yet clear. Do not look for malicious intent, it's not that the police is bad. To you it's obvious from the first moment but we check and when it comes to the conclusion the family is informed. When there is no certainty one has to wait. At the end, this was an attack unfortunately, but you do not have to say a malicious hand took it towards the criminal."
