All of Europe was against it/ Israeli Parliament approves controversial law:
Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir in the Knesset

Israel's parliament on Monday approved a controversial law that would make the death penalty the norm for Palestinians convicted by military courts of murderous attacks, fulfilling a promise by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right allies.

The law mandated the “death penalty for terrorists,” but in practice would only apply to Palestinians convicted of anti-Israel attacks. The bill passed with 62 votes in favor and 48 against.

Netanyahu was among those who voted in favor, as was, of course, his minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, who tried to open a champagne.

According to this bill, “anyone who intentionally or negligently causes the death of an Israeli citizen for reasons of racism or hostility towards a community, and with the aim of harming the State of Israel and the rebirth of the Jewish people in its land, will face the death penalty.”

Before the vote, the bill had been sharply criticized by the foreign ministers of Germany, France, Italy and Britain, who stressed that it leads to de facto discrimination against Palestinians and undermines Israel's commitments to democratic principles.

An Israeli human rights NGO immediately announced that it would appeal to the Israeli Supreme Court, challenging the validity of the law, minutes after it was passed by the Knesset.

The law is “unconstitutional, de facto discriminatory and, for Palestinians in the West Bank, was passed without legal basis,” the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) said in a statement.

In Israel, the death penalty for the crime of murder was abolished in 1954. The only person ever executed in the country after a civilian trial was Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Holocaust, in 1962. Military courts retain the option to impose the death penalty on defendants, but have not done so to date.
