Petitioning the ICC to Investigate the Palestinian Authority for the Abduction and Murder of a Druze Israeli Teenager

In February 2023, Shurat HaDin filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague demanding that it investigate the Palestinian Authority for the abduction and murder of Tiran Feru. Tiran, a Druze Israeli teenager, was abducted from a hospital in Jenin after suffering a life-threatening injury in a traffic accident near the city. He died as a result of being disconnected from his medical support after armed Palestinian men stormed his hospital room and abducted him. Feru was murdered inside the PA and the gunmen who kidnapped and murdered him belonged to Fatah, the ruling terrorist faction of the PLO. Shurat HaDin represents the Feru family and is demanding that the ICC hold the PA accountable. “It’s unbelievable that when an Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed by a stray [IDF] bullet in Jenin, the whole world reared up and demanded an investigation,” Shurat HaDin’s president Nitsana Darshan-Leitner explained, “but when an Israeli boy is murdered, nobody questions the trustworthiness of the Palestinian Authority.”
