Strange things are happening in the State of Israel’s legal and judicial system. The decision by the State Attorney’s Office to arrest IDF soldiers and investigate them on suspicion of the “murder of a Nukhba terrorist” on October 7 is puzzling. Even more illogical is the fact that two judicial courts decided to release the fighters, despite an order to detain them for 10 days.
How the combination of the words “murder of a Nukhba terrorist” makes any sense at all, is beyond belief. Having first accused the soldiers of killing a terrorist, the State Attorney’s Office has now changed the accusation saying the Palestinian was not a Nukhba terrorist but a Gazan civilian who had entered Israel after the initial attack by Hamas terrorists to join in the killing. These three Israeli heroes who , instantly rejoined the IDF of their own volition to fight off the terrorists and save lives, have also been accused of stealing ammunition on that day.
Nevertheless, it appears that they are not to be charged with murder. State prosecutor Amit Aisman’s request to investigate National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir for incitement against the people of Gaza is also bizarre. Is the Israeli legal system unaware that such an investigation of a government minister during wartime lends legitimacy to the joint complaint filed by South Africa, Spain, and Ireland against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague (ICJ) for alleged war crimes? Legal affairs corresponde.
