Family of Palestinian who was left to die compensated
None
In accordance with a compromise agreement, the State will pay NIS 875,000 (about $218,000) to the family of Omar Abu-Jariban, who was left to die by two police officers on the side of the road four years ago.
In 2008 Abu-Jariban, a Palestinian who was residing in Israel illegally sustained serious injuries after a car he had stolen overturned on Route 6. Following his release from the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer two weeks later, he was left by the officers at the side of Route 45 near the Ofer army camp in the West Bank without food or water. He apparently died of dehydration. (Naama Cohen-Friedman)
