Culture minister Regev urges IDF pardon for Azaria

Culture Minister Miri Regev, a former IDF spokesperson, issues a statement backing Elor Azaria after a military appeals court upholds his manslaughter conviction and 18-month prison sentence.

“This outstanding soldier, Elor Azaria, should have been safe in his home long ago. It is now in the IDF’s power [to release him], and this is the most basic act of support that Elor deserves. A pardon, and sooner rather than later.”
