Israel divided over conviction of soldier in manslaughter case
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supports a pardon for Elor Azaria, who was a soldier that was convicted of manslaughter. This case is dividing Israeli society. Azaria will face up to 20 years in prison for shooting a Palestinian stabbing suspect. Azaria denies these charges, but Israel's military chief of staff said that Azaria had violated the military's code of conduct. Politicians are arguing Azaria's actions were justified and that he should never have faced prosecution for killing what they said was a terrorist.
