At the regular session of the UN Human Rights Council in September 2015 , Amro said that he was " extremely concerned " with the situation in Palestine during this time and stated that " the erupting violence over the past weeks … can only end when international law is applied . " He mentioned the case of 18-year-old Hadil Hashlamoun , who on the 22 September of that year had been shot and killed by Israeli forces , and whose death was reported as " unlawful " by Amnesty International : " Mr. President , I was present when they took her body away , and saw the settlers and soldiers rejoice at her fate . We urgently need an impartial international investigation into her case , " Amro stated . Amro wrote an article for the Huffington Post in response to the Hebron shooting incident in March , 2016 . A video had been published by B'Tselem showing Israeli soldier Elor Azaria shooting Abdel Fattah al-Sharif in the head at point-blank range , while the Palestinian was lying wounded on the ground . In his article , Amro described being guarded by Azaria for seven hours during an arrest in March , which took place before the shooting incident . Amro did not consider the soldier to be " unusually fanatical or extreme . " Instead , he blamed the normalization of anti-Palestinian hatred within the Israeli military , and Benjamin Netanyahu for " pulling verbal triggers of incitement " and denying freedom for Palestinians with his politics
