Israel has passed a law that designates the death penalty as the default punishment for Palestinians in the West Bank convicted of killing Israelis.
Britain, Germany, France, and Italy have described this action as "truly discriminatory" and warned that "Israel may undermine its commitments to democratic principles."
In a joint statement, the death penalty was characterized as "an inhumane and degrading form of punishment with no deterrent effect." Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's Minister of National Security, who had worn symbols resembling a noose on his clothing before the vote, has been a staunch advocate for harsher measures against Palestinians convicted of nationalist crimes against Israelis. Ben-Gvir stated in a post on X, "We have made history. Any terrorist who goes out to kill must know he will be hanged." He also strongly criticized the European Union's objections, adding, "We are not afraid, and we will not back down."
