TEL
AVIV, September 7, 2015 (WAFA) – 28-year-old Riham Dawabsheh, the mother of
Palestinian toddler Ali Dawabsheh who was killed in Duma arson attack on July 31 by
Jewish terrorists, succumbed to her third-degree burns and died last night, doctors at
Tel HaShomer hospital in Tel Aviv informed her relatives.
Riham’s
son, 18-month-old Ali, was killed on the spot, while his father, Sa’ad died of
his wounds about one week later. Ahmad, the family’s four-year-old son, was
also injured in the attack, but doctors at Tel Hashomer hospital, where he is
being treated, have indicated an improvement in his condition.
Shortly
after Riham was announced dead, the government blamed the Israeli government
for being “lenient” with extremist Jewish settlers, and said Israel failed to
bring those terrorists to justice. The Israeli government, the government’s
statement added, was also involved in a war crime against the entire family.
The
government underscored efforts by President Mahmoud Abbas to refer the case of
deadly arson attack against Dawabsheh family to all international forums, and
said it will hold Israel and its settlers responsible for their crimes against
innocent Palestinians.
Though
Israeli Prime Minister pledged to bring the perpetrators to justice, Abbas has
questioned the Israeli government’s commitment to end violence, saying the
Israeli government would have been able to stop settlers’ violence if it really
wanted to do so.
Last
month, Abbas announced that the Palestinian leadership would prepare a file on
the Duma crime and submit it to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
