The release of Elisha Yered, one of the Israeli suspects involved in the fatal shooting of a Palestinian during a clash between settlers and Palestinians, has caused controversy an

Yered, a former spokesperson for a far-right political party, was released to house arrest by a Jerusalem District Court due to insufficient evidence.

The other suspect, Yehiel Indore, remains in custody as the alleged shooter. Yered's release conditions include house arrest at his uncle's home and restricted communication.

Judge Tamar Bar-Asher criticized the police for lack of preparation and questioned the necessity of Yered's custody.

Supporters claim self-defense, while critics highlight broader implications and the emboldening of extremist groups.

The international community, including the Biden administration, categorized the shooting as a "terror attack," leading to discussions about terminology's impact.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Yered's release, fearing it encourages settler attacks.
