Rebuffing the prison’s offer to have a circumcision behind bars, the son of jailed Jewish extremist Meir Ettinger has his tip snipped at a synagogue in Jerusalem instead.
Ettinger had appealed to the Supreme Court to be allowed furlough to attend the rite, but was rejected.
Hundreds attend the ceremony.
His son is named Netzach Binyamin.
Binyamin Zeev Kahane, Ettinger’s uncle, was killed by Palestinian terrorists in the West Bank in 2000.
