Press release by Hamas Spokesman Fawzi Barhoum regarding the release of the criminal Israeli soldier Elor Azaria:

Release of the murderous Israeli solider Elor Azaria, who executed the motionless Palestinian youth Abdel Fattah al-Sharif, reflects the systematic state terrorism practiced by the Israeli occupation against the people of Palestine.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s congrratulation of the criminal Azaria upon his release is an official incitment of the Israeli occupation soldiers to kill more and more Palestinians.

The international community and international institutions must take immediate action against the Israeli occupation and its leaders and put an end to their terrorist acts and violations against the Palestinians.
