An Israeli military court's ruling on the killing of a wounded Palestinian by a regime soldier sparks outrage among the Arab League member states.
The 22-member bloc was reacting to the 18-month jail sentence handed down to Israeli soldier Elor Azaria on Tuesday. He was convicted of manslaughter for killing Abdul Fatah al-Sharif in the occupied West Bank in March 2016. Footage of the incident showed Azaria shooting Sharif while the victim was lying on the ground bleeding and posing no threat. The court ruling has been criticized as too lenient.
