WorldIsrael’s president pardons soldier who killed wounded Palestinian in 2016

Israeli President Isaac Herzog effectively cleared former army medic Elor Azaria’s criminal record, shortening the remaining period before its erasure. Azaria was convicted of manslaughter after shooting Abdel Fattah al-Sharif, who had already been wounded and incapacitated by Israeli troops in Hebron. Military leaders opposed the move, saying Azaria had shown no remorse or responsibility.
