Liberman on Hebron soldier: Let legal system work unhindered
Presumptive new defense minister Avigdor Liberman hints at a shift in his stance on the soldier accused of manslaughter for killing an incapacitated Palestinian attacker in Hebron in March.
“Both as defense minister and as an MK, one must allow the military legal system to operate without interference,” he says, according to Walla.
Liberman’s previous appearance at the trial of the soldier, Sgt. Elor Azaria, at Jaffa Military Court, have been perceived as a show of support for him even as former defense minister Moshe Ya’alon and the IDF chief of staff condemned his actions.
