Israeli lawmaker gets death threats for soldier comment
a soldier who killed a wounded Palestinian assailant
Jerusalem - ArabToday
Israel’s parliament speaker has ordered security beefed up for a Knesset member who came under threats after he said a soldier who killed a wounded Palestinian assailant shouldn’t be pardoned.
Yuli Edelstein said on Friday he made the decision after “escalated threats” against Erel Margalit, an opposition lawmaker of the Zionist Union party.
Margalit faced abuse on social media after his comments on the case of Sgt. Elor Azaria.
Azaria was convicted this week for shooting a Palestinian who lay on the ground incapacitated from shots sustained after he allegedly stabbed and wounded a soldier in the occupied West Bank.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he should be pardoned.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
