JERUSALEM — The Israeli authorities said late Tuesday that the name of Muhammad Abu Khdeir, the Palestinian teenager from East Jerusalem who was abducted, beaten and burned to death by three Israelis last summer, would be removed from the state’s memorial to victims of hostile acts at the request of his father.

The youth’s name was added to the memorial in advance of Israel’s Memorial Day for its war dead and victims of terrorism, observed Tuesday evening and Wednesday. But the step drew strong criticism from the youth’s father, Hussein Abu Khdeir, who said he had not been consulted and learned of it for the first time from news reports Tuesday morning.

Muhammad Abu Khdeir’s name has been inscribed on a plaque on the memorial wall at Mount Herzl, the site of Jerusalem’s military cemetery and the national cemetery where many Israeli dignitaries are buried. On the government website commemorating victims of terrorism, his entry noted that he was 16; that he was killed in a hostile act on July 2, 2014, in Jerusalem; and that he is survived by his parents and six siblings.

The grisly killing shocked Israelis and set off riots in Palestinian areas of East Jerusalem and predominantly Arab towns across Israel. The Israeli authorities determined that it was a hate crime, after the abduction and killing of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank.
