Jamil Tamimi, 57, from the Ras al-Amoud neighborhood of East Jerusalem, will not be forced to compensate the family of the late Hannah Bladon, 21, who was an exchange student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Tamimi had stabbed Bladon to death on the light rail.
At the time, police said he was on his way home from a mental hospital in northern Israel when he carried out the attack.
