flag Israel plans new death penalty for Palestinian terrorism suspects, building execution facility within 90 days if law passes.

flag Israel is preparing to implement a new death penalty law targeting Palestinian detainees, with plans to build an execution facility, form volunteer teams, and carry out hangings within 90 days of a final verdict. flag The law, advancing through Knesset approval, focuses on individuals accused of terrorism, including those from Gaza and the West Bank, with military courts potentially applying the penalty for intentional or unintentional killings. flag The Israel Prison Service is studying execution methods abroad. flag Critics, including UN experts and Palestinian groups, condemn the law as a violation of international law, a tool of discrimination, and a step toward ethnic cleansing. flag The legislation still requires two more readings to become law.
