Army source: Elor Azaria must express ‘real’ remorse for chance at pardon

Elor Azaria will have to express “true and real” remorse to have a chance at receiving a pardon from IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot, Channel 2 says, citing the words of an unnamed senior army source.

“If someone things that a [social media] post or journalistic chatter, or even a [public] petition will influence the chief of staff in the slightest — they’re wrong. Only one person can affect the chief of staff’s decision, and that’s Sgt. Elor Azaria, who will have to write his request for leniency from the cells of [IDF prison] Jail 4.”
