Netanyahu on Hebron shooter: Maybe we don't know everything

Benjamin Netanyahu has defended his decision to call the father of soldier Elor Azaria, on trial for killing a wounded Palestinian assailant, and offer him support.

Speaking to military reporters, Netanyahu hints it’s possible Azaria, who took the stand for the first time Sunday and was cross-examined by the prosecution Monday, could emerge from the manslaughter trial over the March 24 Hebron shooting.

“I asked the father to put his faith in the army because I trust in the soldiers, the commanders, the military justice system and the chief of staff. We’re finding out now what happened and maybe we’ll find out something new. This isn’t hermetically sealed.”

He adds that he “stands behind every word.”
