flag Israel’s Knesset debates a bill imposing death by lethal injection on Palestinians convicted of killing Jews, with no appeals and executions within 90 days.

flag Israel’s Knesset is debating a far-right-backed bill that would impose the death penalty by lethal injection on Palestinians convicted of killing Jews, with executions to occur within 90 days and no appeals. flag The proposal, supported by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and passed its first reading, aims to deter terrorism following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. flag Critics, including human rights groups and Palestinian officials, condemn it as racially biased, a threat to the rule of law, and a potential war crime. flag The bill would apply only to Palestinians, not Israelis who kill Palestinians, and has drawn international concern. flag Israel has not executed anyone since 1962, and the law would mark a major shift in its justice system.
