Israel’s death penalty law is not about executing Palestinians
Israel has passed a death penalty law allowing for the execution of individuals convicted of 'terror offences' within a 90-day period, sparking concerns among Palestinians and human rights organizations. The law is seen as a continuation of Israel's longstanding strategy of eliminating Palestinian existence in Palestine, with many viewing it as a form of institutionalized apartheid.
Israel passed a death penalty law allowing for the execution of individuals convicted of 'terror offences' within 90 days. At least 87 Palestinian detainees have been killed in the last two and a half years. The law comes amid increased Israeli violence in the occupied West Bank, with over 7,300 violations against Palestinians in the last month. Israeli settlers and soldiers have carried out killings, raids, and arrests, with no accountability for their actions. The death penalty law is seen as a deliberate message that Palestinians have no rights in the Israeli legal order. The law is designed to erase Palestinian capacity to resist and facilitate systemic ruptures.
