Soldiers who killed Palestinian-American get slap on the wrist, Biden admin ‘not satisfied’
The Biden administration is calling for a "thorough criminal investigation and full accountability" following an Israeli army investigation into the death of dual Palestinian-American citizen Omar Asaad.
BY YUMNA PATEL FEBRUARY 7, 2022
The Israeli army concluded its investigation last week into the death of Omar Asaad, an 80-year-old dual Palestinian-American citizen who was killed during a violent Israeli raid on his hometown in the occupied West Bank in January.
Asaad suffered from a heart attack on January 12th, after he was dragged out of his car in the middle of the night by Israeli soldiers, bound, gagged, and left in a cold abandoned warehouse for hours.
In its own internal investigation, which came after mounting pressure from US officials, the army concluded that Asaad’s death was a “grave and unfortunate event, resulting from a moral failure and poor decision-making on the part of the soldiers.”
