According to Haaretz, in the wake of sentencing Ben-Uliel's wife maintained his innocence, saying "all the evidence" showed that "my husband did not do it."
Ben-Uliel's lawyers had previously attempted to get him acquitted, and it is expected that they will appeal his sentence to the Israeli Supreme Court.
Palestinians welcomed Monday's sentencing, with Palestinian members of the Arab-majority Joint List calling the sentencing an "important moment."
"The sentence is an important moment, when too many murders of Palestinians do not even reach trial," MK Yousef Jabareen said in a statement on Twitter, adding that "this does not clear the blame of the [Israeli] ministers who incited political assassination and created an atmosphere of racist hatred."
Head of the Joint List Ayman Odeh described the sentencing as only "partial justice," saying that "full justice will be done at the end of the occupation and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel."
Hussein Dawabsheh, the father of Riham and the guardian of now 10-year-old Ahmad, said that the sentencing "will not bring anything back," echoing his previous sentiments that the conviction will not return his daughter to him, and will never ease the trauma that Ahmed experienced that day.
Hope of a full recovery for Alexey Navalny received a boost on Tuesday morning, when the Russian opposition figure published a photo from Berlin's Charite hospital for the first time since he was admitted on August 24.
Writing on Instagram, Navalny explained that he "can still barely do anything," but is now able to breathe "on his own" without a ventilator. The anti-corruption activist appears to be in good spirits, joking that he "recommends" breathing, which he described as an "amazing, underestimated" process.
Navalny's post comes just a day after a German official apparently revealed the activist's intention to return home after he recovers, in order to "continue his mission." Allegedly speaking to the New York Times, the unnamed official also noted that Navalny is "fully aware of his condition" and seems mentally sharp.
On Tuesday, his press secretary, Kira Yarmysh, confirmed that Navalny would return to Russia, saying that "no other options were ever considered."
Speaking to reporters, President Vladimir Putin's spokesman noted that news of Navalny's recovery is positive, and he would be welcomed back to his homeland.
"He is a citizen of Russia, he is free to leave Russia and return to Russia," Dmitry Peskov said. "If a Russian citizen improves his health, everyone will be happy."
