Palestinians Slam Israel Soldier Sentence as 'Green Light' for Crimes
The sentencing of an Israeli soldier to 18 months for killing a wounded Palestinian assailant is a "green light" for the Israeli military's "crimes," a Palestinian government spokesman said Tuesday.
"The Palestinian government views this light ruling against the murderer soldier as a green light to the occupation army to continue its crimes," spokesman Tarek Rishmawi told AFP shortly after an Israeli military court sentenced Elor Azaria for the killing of Abdul Fatah al-Sharif in the occupied West Bank in March 2016.
