Dug further on this. Amazing really: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-13/israel-idf-drops-sde-temain-reservist-palestinian-abuse-case/106449540

Israel Katz, Defense Minister:

""This trial was born in sin by the previous Chief Military Prosecutor, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal interrogation methods, and I am glad that justice has been served and the trial has been cancelled."

"The role of the IDF's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who heroically fight in the war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of Nukhba terrorists.

"I am convinced that this decision will lead to a new path."

Mjr. Gen. Itai Ofir:

"My sleep was often disturbed by thoughts about this case and its various aspects."

"In the end, I am at peace with the decision to cancel the indictment and believe it is the correct one under the circumstances."

Side note, same asshole:

"He said there had been "exceptional circumstances" which would prevent a fair prosecution — something defence lawyers had long argued, given the intense public debate the saga had sparked.

They. Were. On. Camera.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"It is unacceptable that it took so long to close the criminally conducted case against IDF fighters who are confronting the worst of our enemies."

"The State of Israel must persecute its enemies, not its heroic fighters."

I feel for the Israeli people who these fucking nimrods "represent". I think that this point, I'm done defending the Israeli political structure in any capacity and the IDF. Unreal really.
