URGENT  Israel soldier sentence 'green light' for crimes: Palestinians

RAMALLAH, Palestinian Territories, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Feb, 2017 ) - The sentencing of an Israeli soldier to 18 months for killing a wounded Palestinian assailant is a "green light" for the 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.
