Israel’s Army Radio is broadcasting an interview with Netanyahu in which he clarifies, again, that he did not intend to compare Hebron shooter Elor Azaria to soldiers killed or missing in combat, as he appeared to do in a Channel 2 interview Friday.

“I didn’t mean to make any comparison, and there is no comparison between the pain of parents in situations like this and others and the terrible pain, the terrible suffering of bereaved parents,” he says. “I tell you this from personal experience, unfortunately. I had no intention of making a comparison like this. My words were not so successful, that’s true.”
