TEL AVIV, Israel—An Israeli family asked an appeals court on Thursday to halt the planned return of a 6-year-old boy who survived a cable crash in Italy to his relatives there.
There was no immediate ruling in the case surrounding Eitan Biran, who has been at the center of a bitter custody battle between relatives in Italy and Israel. This week, an Italian judge issued an international arrest warrant for the boy’s grandfather, who whisked Eitan to Israel on a private jet in September.
