Housing minister calls for immediate Azaria pardon
Housing and Construction Minister Yoav Galant, a former IDF general, calls on the defense minister and IDF chief of staff to hand Azaria a pardon immediately.
He says the trial took a “heavy toll on the army and Israeli society” and that in light of the punishment, and “for the sake of uniting the rifts between parts of the nation, we must exercise common sense and a measure of mercy.”
