Please do not remove the lede too long tag before addressing this issue. Clearly, the lede is overdetailed and needs a good trim. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:40, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My reply was to a user trying to suggest we add a statement to the lead sentence. The current talk page does not reflect what was discussed. Closhund/talk/05:04, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He needs to be widely characterized by reliable sources as a "suspected war criminal currently at large" in order for Wikipedia to use that exact wording. Wikipedia cannot say controversial and potentially defamatory things like that if they are not widely supported by reliable sources, per Wikipedia:BLP.

Even if the arrest warrant was issued, this is not something for the first sentence. He would need to be convicted of war crimes and widely characterized as one first for this to be changed. Mellk (talk) 18:47, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there are plenty of people protesting (and maybe a number of commentators?) who call him as a war criminal, but there is WP:NPOV. It would not be correct to say that most reliable sources, and given that this is WP:BLP would need to include very high-quality sources, outright call him a war criminal. This is probably in part due to him not being convicted of war crimes by a court. Of course, there are people as you mentioned who would like to see him face court but this is different and more of a matter of opinion rather than a statement of fact.

There is an error in redaction at the beginning of second lead paragraph. Second sentence in paragraph should read (changes in bold):
He returned to Israel in 1967 to join the Israel Defense Forces and served in the Sayeret Matkal special forces as a captain before being honorably discharged.
