Herzog Erases Record of Israeli Soldier Who Killed Wounded Palestinian
Israeli occupation leader Isaac Herzog has decided to erase the criminal record of former soldier Elor Azaria, who was convicted of killing injured Palestinian Abdel Fattah al-Sharif in Hebron about ten years ago. The decision was made despite Azaria's refusal to show remorse or take responsibility. Herzog based his decision on the passage of time since the incident and the completion of his sentence, aiming to enable him to "start a new chapter." The incident resulted in the death of al-Sharif, who was wounded and lying on the ground. Azaria was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months in prison, but he was released after nine months. The decision reflects a bias in how occupation crimes are handled and has sparked criticism over the occupation's failure to deliver justice for the families of Palestinian victims.
