שר הביטחון כ"ץ להרצוג: תמחק את הרישום הפלילי של אלאור אזריה

הערכה

Israel's defense minister is asking the president to expunge the criminal record of a soldier who was imprisoned for killing a neutralized attacker. The request ties the soldier's case to the broader context of hostage negotiations and prisoner releases since October 7. This move could reignite debate over military rules of engagement and the legal treatment of soldiers in combat situations.
