Legally, Israel will be the party responsible for the compensation of Abu Eisenid if there is an official.

But its lawyers at the Australian International Center of Justice say that Israel is unlikely to pay its client, who is a dual Australian Palestinian citizen, and the Australian government must ascend in place. Lara Khider’s executive director, Lara Khider, said that she doubted that the investigation had been taken seriously due to the lack of details about his progress.

“There should be there now … severe doubts about whether this investigation is taking place at all and whether it is real,” said Khider.

A spokesman for the Israeli embassy said that it is taking seriously in Israel.

A DFAT spokesman said that the government continued to request updates from Israel in the incident and explains that it expects “a comprehensive, comprehensive and transparent investigation.” The Foreign Minister has repeatedly raised this with Israeli officials, the last of which was on March 26.

Abu Eisenid’s lawyers claim that it can be compensated through a dedicated plan similar to the government that the government provides to the Australians injured in terrorist attacks abroad.

DFAT Abu Eisenid told that since its compensation was not in its consular role, it must apply for services in Australia to obtain financial support. However, her request was rejected that he does not fulfill the requirements of the disability pension.

“So I am disabled not [being capable of] “Leadership, but not enough to get a boost,” said Abu Eisnid.

Compensation will help her family cover the cost of emergency travel from the West Bank and overcome difficulties to be blind in one eye.

She said: “There is no amount of money or compensation that can compensate for someone’s life completely destroyed.”

“I was in my third year of dentistry. I would have become a dentist. I had eyes eyes in my head, and now I miss the eyeball. I have a permanent destructive face.”

In the days that followed on November 15 last year until it reached Australia, Abu Eisenid’s lawyers claim that the DFAT employees working in its case failed to provide adequate care.

On the day of her injuries, Abu Isnid accompanied St. John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem with a DFAT official, but there was no surgeon available to treat her until the next day.

Her lawyers say her family asked her to another hospital to receive urgent care to treat her other wounds, but the DFAT official did not help and insisted that Al Ain Hospital was sufficient. She received treatment on her eyes the next day.

Abu Izaid’s lawyers described the delay “described” completely unacceptable in the circumstances in which hospitals were in Israel and other places available “and that” the Australian government could have taken steps to facilitate immediate transfer of emergency surgery. “

DFAT consular assistance may include contact with or visits to local hospitals, contact with local authorities, and provide lists of medical service providers and help communicate with family members or candidate communications.

Abu Izaid also says that Foreign Minister Benny Wong broke her promise to meet her, after she learned that her family wanted to present the lawyers.

Shortly after her arrival in Australia, Abu Eisenid’s father, Tareq, continued to request a meeting with Wong. Email messages that this supporters saw the Wong office is initially ready to organize a meeting with the minister. But KHIERER, Abu Izaid’s lawyer, claims that the offer was pulled when it became clear that her father wanted the lawyers to attend.

Wong then sent a handwritten message expressing her sympathy for Abu Isenid and promised that she urges Israel to complete a comprehensive investigation.

“I am following your situation closely. We have informed us and I am the public prosecutor of the need for a transparent, comprehensive and comprehensive achievement from the Israeli government,” Wong wrote in the letter.

The Wong office said that the minister did not withdraw the offer to meet Abu Azid and her family.

The minister’s office said that due to the requests submitted by DFAT in this case, it was wise for the administration to meet with representatives of Abu Eisenid in the first place, including discussing the consular services provided to them and the requests of her family.

But for Abu Izaid, who is still looking for answers about what happened to her, Wong’s speech is disappointing.

It was recently accepted to continue studying at the University of Melbourne, although it is not in dentistry. She cannot study for long periods of time before her eye becomes tense.

She says that being on the campus raises painful memories of her university in the West Bank and the day when her life was raised.
