The court on Monday ordered Eitan Biran returned to “the place of his normal residence, which is Italy.” It ordered his grandfather, who had flown him to Israel against the wishes of his family members in Italy, to pay around $20,000 in expenses and attorney fees.
The cable car crash in May killed his immediate family and set off a bitter custody battle between his maternal grandparents in Israel and his paternal relatives in Italy.
There is a legal process for sad cases like this. Spiriting a child out of the country is not part of that process.
bad result.
How horrific and cruel.
Poor boy and grandparents who are really there for his good.
We should all daven for him
Is the boy Jewish?
But the boy is an Israeli citizen so why are these judges refusing him his birthright?
Of course the court sided with his aunt. The grandfather is frum. She is not.
That “State” of Israel has no connection to Jews or the Land of Israel. This is yet another testament to that.
Nebach. We must do an eifa yossela thing and sneak the boy out. We need to save him
