An Israeli court has handed a Jewish settler three life sentences for murdering a Palestinian toddler and his parents in a “hate crime” arson attack on their West Bank home. The court said the murders were “carefully planned and driven by an extremist ideology and racism”. Ben-Uliel wanted to kill the family “solely because they were Arabs living in Duma, deciding that their death would avenge that of Malachi Rosenfeld”, the court said. Rosenfeld was an Israeli shot dead a month earlier by a Palestinian near the West Bank settlement of Shilo.
