Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, has passed a highly controversial death penalty law that applies specifically to non-citizen Palestinians in the West Bank. The legislation, backed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and driven by far-right allies including Itamar Ben Gvir, allows military courts to impose capital punishment in terror-related cases with a simple majority verdict. Critics argue the law effectively excludes Jewish Israelis from prosecution under the same framework, raising serious concerns about discrimination and unequal application of justice. The Palestinian Authority has condemned the move as a “war crime,” citing violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Legal experts and civil rights groups warn the absence of clemency provisions and its application in occupied territory could place Israel in direct conflict with international law. WATCH
