Houthis stage a large protest in the Yemeni capital Sanaa against the Israeli parliament’s approval of a new death penalty bill

The controversial bill targets Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank found guilty of “acts of terrorism” by Israeli military courts

On March 30, 2026, the Israeli Knesset passed a new law making the death penalty the default sentence for Palestinians convicted in military courts of deadly attacks classified as acts of terrorism

Yemeni security personnel were deployed to maintain order as Houthi supporters gathered in the capital to condemn the Israeli bill

Security forces monitor the scene as hundreds of Houthi supporters gather in Sanaa to express outrage over the Israeli parliament’s decision.
