Khater was in a good mood, uplifted, and nothing indicated his intention to commit suicide. Reactions in Israel The Ras Burka Massacre was a shock and a reality check to Israel's "peace process" with Egypt. Examples of memorials to the victims include: public benches in the name of Ofri Tural in Timrat where her mother lives; the Hebrew University memorial to its staff and students lists Anita Griffel, and; the song "Perach" (Flower) -- lyrics by Suki Lahav, music by Yehuda Poliker and first performed by Gidi Gov. Compensation to the victims In 1986, as part of the Taba talks, Egypt agreed to submit a report on the murder at Ras Burka, and discuss the question of reparations to the bereaved families. In early 1989, a special Egyptian legal committee awarded compensation to the victims. The Wall Street Journal said that the amounts were "well within the norms of established international standards" and the Sun-Sentinel wrote "Egypt agreed to pay $500,000 in compensation". Egypt also made a formal statement to the family of each victim "expressing its acceptance of responsibility, its regret, and its condolences".
