Ami Popper
Ami Popper is an Israeli individual convicted in 1990 of murdering seven Palestinian workers at a junction in Rishon Lezion after stealing a weapon from his soldier brother. Initially sentenced to seven life terms, his sentence was later commuted to 40 years by then-President Ezer Weizman in 1999, following a recommendation from the Minister of Justice at the time, Tzachi Hanegbi. Popper's case has resurfaced in recent news as Israeli President Isaac Herzog is considering reducing his sentence as part of potential negotiations for a hostage release deal, amidst public outcry regarding the release of Palestinian prisoners.
