Sheinbein, 17, hoped to escape trial in the United States by claiming Israeli citizenship through his father, who was born in pre-state Palestine and left in 1950.
Under Israeli law, a citizen cannot be extradited for a crime committed in another country.
But after pressure from the United States, Israel’s attorney general, Elyakim Rubinstein, stated that the citizenship law does not apply to Sheinbein.
