DaysofPal- Israeli fanatic security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said Wednesday that a proposed law seeking to impose the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners would apply to the overwhelming majority of detainees without exception.
According to Hebrew-language sources cited by local media, Ben-Gvir stated that the legislation, currently being advanced by the Israeli government, would broadly target Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
The Israeli law aims to formalize capital punishment for individuals convicted of involvement in such operations.
It would mark a significant shift in Israeli policy, where the death penalty is rarely used and largely limited to exceptional cases.
The proposal has drawn widespread criticism from international organizations and human rights groups, who warn that implementing such a law could escalate tensions and further destabilize the region.
Critics also argue that the measure may violate international law, particularly provisions related to fair trial standards and the protection of detainees under occupation.
Observers note that the debate surrounding the bill comes amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing conflict, raising concerns over its potential humanitarian and political consequences.
