The President of the Supreme Court, Justice Esther Hayut, rejected the request for another hearing submitted by Amiram Ben Oliel, the accused Jewish terrorist who killed a young Arab family.
Ben Oliel, who was convicted of murdering the parents and their infant son in the Arab village of Duma in 2015, claimed that his confession was obtained through torture and asked the Supreme Court for another hearing on the verdict. In September 2022, the supreme court rejected his appeal and upheld his conviction from the district court in Lod.

The Central District Court convicted Amiram Ben Oliel of murdering 3 members of the Dawabsha family https://t.co/oxV0in6Am1
Ben Oliel is serving three life sentences and another 20 additional years in an Israeli prison for his confessed crimes, after he was convicted of throwing Molotov cocktails at the family's home, which led to the death of a one-and-a-half-year-old baby and his two parents, as well as the serious injury of a four-year-old boy, all members of the Devabsha family.
President Hayut wrote in the decision yet again to reject his appeal: "The present case is a shocking and difficult case and the measures taken against the applicant during his investigation are indeed extremely unusual. However, the ruling that is the subject of the request for the further hearing did not establish any new law on issues concerning the admissibility of confessions."

The โHoneinuโ organization, focusing on legal injustices, commented on the decision: "Esther Hayut, like her fellow human rights activists, puts the rights of the poor and oppressed in society to ridicule and contempt, supports torture in order to extract confessions from those being interrogated as in third world countries. At a time when the court is being talked about as a 'protector of human rights' Esther Hayut reminded us how much of a lie is behind this sentence. When it comes to a Jew with sideburns and a beard, the court despised him and his rights. This morning is a bad morning for the State of Israel, a morning that reminds us all to what low the so-called Supreme Court has deteriorated."
Israel's Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of Amiram Ben Oliel, convicted for the murder of 3 members of the Dawabshe family.

In the same way as I condemn the Arab/"Palestinian" terror, I condemn the Jewish terror.
Thankfully, the Jewish terrorists are a minute minority.
In Ben Oliel's request for a rehearing submitted by his lawyer Avigdor Feldman, it is written: "At the center of the verdict is the question that has haunted Israeli law for many years: the Shin Bet's authority to use violent, torturing and painful interrogations to extract information from those being investigated who are suspected of serious crimes against the security of the state."
Ben Oliel confessed to the murder and recounted the act, but his defense attorneys claimed that the confessions were extracted from him under torture, which is defined as "necessary investigative matters" which received the approval of the Attorney General.
