Hundreds of IDF investigations into killings still have no public outcome, BBC Verify finds

The Israeli military is reviewing incidents of harm.
Satirical commentary based on the sourced facts above. Not a news report, campaign, or endorsement.
Opening Argument
The prosecution argues that the ongoing investigations by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) into 254 incidents of alleged harm are not merely administrative reviews but a sinister cover-up orchestrated to protect Trump's international interests. The prosecution alleges that these investigations serve as a distraction from the real issues at hand, namely the former president's collusion with foreign powers to undermine global stability.
Exhibit A: The Plausible Link
The prosecution submits that the timing of these investigations coincides with Trump's controversial policies in the Middle East, suggesting a direct correlation between his administration's actions and the IDF's reluctance to disclose findings. The prosecution imagines that these reviews are a façade, allowing Trump to maintain plausible deniability while furthering his agenda.
The Domino Effect
In the prosecution's theory, the lack of public outcomes from these investigations creates a ripple effect, emboldening authoritarian regimes worldwide.
The Hidden Danger
The prosecution urges that the real danger lies in the normalization of impunity for military actions, which could set a precedent for future leaders, including Trump, to act without accountability.
Closing Argument
The prosecution argues that these investigations are a smokescreen, designed to protect not just the IDF but also Trump's legacy.
Verdict
The prosecution submits that the evidence points to a coordinated effort to obscure the truth, implicating Trump in a web of international deceit.
