Palestinian agrees to plea deal for murder of pregnant Israeli partner

Prosecutors reach a plea deal with a Palestinian man who has confessed to killing a pregnant Israeli woman with whom he was romantically involved.

As part of the plea deal, Nablus resident Muhammad Harouf confesses he murdered Michal Halimi for nationalistic reasons, the Ynet news site reports. He will get life in prison.

Halimi, a resident of the West Bank settlement of Adam, was reported missing last May. Her body was found by police in Holon’s Sand Dunes Park on July 24.
