The ‘Israeli’ army has launched a criminal investigation into the leak of footage from the Sde Teiman detention camp, which shows a blindfolded, handcuffed Palestinian detainee being raped for approximately 15 minutes by a unit of ‘Israeli’ reservists.
The probe focuses on whether officials in the Military Advocate General’s (MAG) office which facilitated the leak to Channel 12, rather than targeting the perpetrators themselves. ‘Israel’s’ chief military prosecutor, Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, has taken leave amid the scandal.
Why are they putting Israel and Israeli in quotes? Are they implying that it wasn’t actually Israelis perpetrating this, or that it isn’t actually Israel performing the investigation? Or is this some political statement I’m not privy to?
Roya is Jordanian news site. Jordan doesn’t recognize Israel as a country but an illegal entity.
I thought Jordan had recognized Israel in 1994, when they signed the peace agreement.
Nice to know that they have retracted.
Gotcha, thanks for the context.
Maybe because israel is a “state”? Don’t know. But it should be dismantled.
