The Likud central office is expected to call on party leadership, Thursday evening to ask the relevant parties in the Israel Defense Forces to pardon soldier Elor Azariya, recently scheduled to 18 months in the brig for manslaughter in the shooting death of a wounded terrorist, according to Maariv.
Office member Aharon Meltzer, who made the proposal, explained, "His duty was to liquidate the terrorist." Meltzer mentioned cases from the past in which the then-president Chaim Herzog granted clemency to seven Shabak Israel Security agents involved in the Bus 300 affair." They were pardoned even before trial and conviction."
