Herzog's Pardon of Azaria Occurred Under 40 Days Before Election
President Isaac Herzog pardoned former IDF soldier Elor Azaria less than 40 days before the upcoming elections, a move that has drawn attention due to its timing. Azaria was convicted of manslaughter for shooting and killing a wounded Palestinian assailant in Hebron in 2016. The pardon effectively reduces Azaria's sentence, though the exact implications for his remaining time are not detailed in this excerpt.
