JERUSALEM — Two Israeli Jewish extremists were charged in an Israeli court on Sunday in connection with a deadly arson attack in July on a Palestinian home in the West Bank, a case that Israeli leaders condemned as Jewish terrorism and that enraged Palestinians.

Amiram Ben-Uliel, 21, was charged with murder in the attack in the village of Duma, which killed a Palestinian toddler and his parents. Israel’s security agency, Shin Bet, said that Mr. Ben-Uliel, who grew up in an Israeli settlement in the West Bank and spent some of his teenage years living in outposts on West Bank hilltops, had confessed to planning and carrying out the attack.
