Bennett hopes IDF soldier let off in manslaughter case
Education Minister Naftali Bennett says he hopes a military court acquits IDF soldier Elor Azaria, accused of shooting a disarmed Palestinian stabber in the West Bank city of Hebron last March.
The verdict in the Azaria case is expected Wednesday.
“I hope he is acquitted,” Bennett tells Army Radio. “If he isn’t acquitted, I believe he should be pardoned right away and shouldn’t sit in prison.”
