Hereby I Declare
A reopening of a case that in our opinion should not have been closed: The killing of Muhammad Qudaih, a 70-year-old Palestinian resident who was holding a white flag.
In the summer of 2014, I was a criminal investigator in the Israeli Defense Forces, and I was sent to investigate that case. After I was discharged from the service it was closed by the Military Prosecutor’s Office without any legal proceedings being taken. A few years later, I saw him in front of me at a café: The soldier who shot the old man. At that moment, I realized that I had not finished investigating this case.
