With Philippe Karsenty’s legal appeal to be heard in Paris on Wednesday, the IDF is now demanding that France 2 TV provide 27 minutes of unedited Mohammed Dura footage for the army’s examination. The Jerusalem Post writes:
The IDF is in urgent need of the footage, Am-Shalom said, because “it has been asked to comment on the ruling [against Karsenty] from October 19, 2006, on this issue, which is scheduled to be discussed in a French appellate court on September 19.”
“Since we are cognizant of the fact that there have been attempts to stage media events, and since doubt has been raised along these lines regarding the story under discussion, we asked to receive the aforementioned materials in order to conclude this episode and to get to the truth,” Am-Shalom said.
Although France 2 is keeping the raw footage under wraps, here’s what we know about it.
