Azaria’s parents ask again to commute his sentence
The parents of a former IDF soldier serving a 14-month prison sentence for the March 2016 killing of a prostrate Palestinian assailant ask President Reuven Rivlin once again to pardon their son.
Oshra and Charlie Azaria, parents of Elor Azaria, send the request Sunday, which bears the names of 55 lawmakers and cabinet ministers backing the request, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
They ask the president to reconsider his previous refusal to commute Azaria’s sentence, “in light of the request of the prime minister, ministers and MKs, including Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman.”
