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.
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.
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.
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.
The bill would apply only to Palestinians, not Israelis who kill Palestinians, and has drawn international concern.
Israel has not executed anyone since 1962, and the law would mark a major shift in its justice system.
