Bennett calls Azaria’s mother, says he ‘regrets’ pardon nixed

Education Minister Naftali Bennett also criticizes Rivlin for turning down Azaria’s pardon request.

In a phone conversation with the Hebron shooter’s mother, Oshra, he says, “I regret the decision to not pardon Elor.

“Give Elor and [his father] Charlie my love. We have no other country and we cannot despair. We must hold our heads high and be strong.”
