US Imposes Visa Restrictions on Former IDF Sergeant for Extrajudicial Killing

Elor Azaria and his immediate family are barred from entering the US as part of broader measures to promote accountability for human rights violations in the West Bank.

The US State Department announced sanctions on Elor Azaria for the 2016 killing of a disarmed Palestinian assailant.
Azaria, convicted of manslaughter by an Israeli military court, served nine months of an 18-month sentence.
The visa restrictions extend to Azaria's immediate family, making them generally ineligible for US entry.
Additional visa restrictions are being considered for others involved in undermining peace and stability in the West Bank.
Israeli opposition leaders criticize the US move, asserting Israel's judicial system is capable of handling such cases independently.
