TEL AVIV (Dispatches) -- An Israeli army reservist has been sentenced to 20 days in military prison for refusing to take part in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, saying that the regime of Benjamin Netanyahu has sabotaged ceasefire and hostage deal, which marked a moral breaking point. Ron Feiner, a 26-year-old student from Haifa and former company commander in the Nahal Brigade, had already completed 270 days of reserve duty since 7 October. Despite suffering injuries and leading evacuations under fire, Feiner declared: “The right thing for me to do is to refuse to report.”
