Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSome 40 MKs have signed a letter urging President Reuven Rivlin to reconsider his decision to reject a request for pardon by a former IDF solider serving time in jail for killing a disarmed Palestinian attacker.
The letter was initiated by former MK Sharon Gal, who is friends with the family of Elor Azaria.
Among the signatories are Justice minister Ayelet Shaked, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman and Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan.
Rivlin’s decision to reject Azaria’s pardon request on Monday drew harsh criticism from senior government officials and on social media.
