Palestinians in occupied West Bank protest Israel’s death penalty law

On March 31, 2026, dozens of Palestinian activists and families of prisoners protested in Ramallah, located in the occupied West Bank. The demonstration was in response to the recent approval by Israeli lawmakers of a bill that would allow the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks. The protesters gathered to voice their opposition to the new law. The law is controversial due to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and differing views on justice and human rights.
