MK Tibi: Barak responsible for Palestinian's death at checkpoint
None
Knesset Member Ahmad Tibi (United Arab List-Ta'al) accused Defense Minister Ehud Barak of being responsible for the death of Muhammad Alian, a Palestinian who died of dehydration and a heart attack after waiting for hours at an Israel Defense Forces checkpoint in the northern West Bank.
"Ehud Barak is personally responsible for his cruel death. The orders at roadblocks require the humiliation and oppression of a civil population, and the person who issued the order is responsible for the death of a Palestinian-French civilian," said Tibi. (Sharon Roffe-Ofir)
