Israeli death penalty bill violates international law: Palestinian analysts
AI Summary
A draft bill in Israel seeks to introduce the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis, particularly if the acts are deemed nationalistic or racist. The bill, which passed its first reading in early November 2025, has been met with strong opposition from Palestinian analysts, lawyers, and activists. They argue it violates international law, undermines judicial safeguards, and targets Palestinians specifically. Critics also point to the already harsh conditions faced by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, including documented deaths and mistreatment. If passed, the law would grant Israeli civil and military courts expanded power to impose death sentences.
