Israeli president pardons soldier who harmed Palestinian
Israeli President Isaac Herzog granted a pardon to former soldier Eilor Azaria, who shot and killed a wounded Palestinian in the West Bank in 2016. Azaria shot him in the head after the Palestinian had been bleeding for 11 minutes. The pardon was based on the circumstances and his criminal record, expressing his remorse, thus opening a new chapter in his life. Homeland Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir welcomed the pardon, considering that erasing the criminal record helps support Azaria and has sparked controversy in Israel.
