An Israeli court recently issued a verdict ordering the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Palestinian prisoners to pay 62 million shekels ($17.6 million) in compensation to the families of Jewish settlers killed in a 2001 shooting attack.
According to Maariv newspaper, the verdict, which was issued by the Israeli district court in Jerusalem last Friday, accused the PA of funding and providing the means for acts of terrorism.
The ruling referred to a shooting attack that was carried out at the start of the second Intifada (uprising) by resistance fighters affiliated with al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades of Fatah.
Such Israeli steps raise a question whether the PA will respond and file compensation lawsuits against Israel with international courts over the death of hundreds of Palestinians at the hands of its troops and settlers in the West Bank and Gaza.

The representative of the armed wing of the Hamas party, the al-Qassam Brigades, issued a statement in support of the attack, saying, “the attack in the Jerusalem area is a new chapter in the Al-Quds Intifada proving that all attempts to Judaize the city will not change the fact that Jerusalem is an Arab and Islamic city.”
It should be noted that the settlement colony of Har Adar is a Jewish-only colony constructed on land illegally seized from the Palestinian village of Beit Surik, where the alleged attacker was from.

Ahead of Sunday’s security cabinet meeting, several ministers of Israel’s right-wing government have called for the Palestinian young man who carried out a recent deadly attack in Halamish to be executed.
The ministers called for passing the death penalty for 19-year-old Palestinian Omar al-Abed who infiltrated into a house in the illegal settlement of Halamish in the West Bank last Friday night and stabbed to death three Jewish settlers from the same family in retaliation to Israeli measures at the Aqsa Mosque.
Israeli war minister Avigdor Lieberman said in an interview with Ynet that with such incident, there is certainly a place for the death sentence in the corridors of West Bank military courts.
Education minister Naftali Bennett also said that the option of death penalty exists in Israeli military courts and that there is no need for legislation.
He called on the military prosecution to demand the death penalty for Abed.
Justice minister Ayelet Shaked also called for going to military courts to extract a capital punishment verdict against the young man.
Transportation and intelligence minister Yisrael Katz made similar comments on Saturday night. He also said that he would raise the demand in the cabinet meeting and that the attorney-general told him that the death penalty was a possibility if it was the security cabinet’s position.
Although Israel’s military courts had reportedly not issued death sentences since 1962, its military and security forces have been carrying out “shoot-to-kill” orders for long years, extrajudicially executing scores of Palestinians on site when they could have been subdued or disarmed through non-lethal means.
