Euskaraz irakurri: Israelgo Gobernuak beste pauso bat eman du “terrorista” palestinarrei heriotza zigorra ezartzeko

An Israeli ministerial committee today gave preliminary approval to a law, promoted by the far-right Jewish Power party, that would allow Palestinians to carry out attacks against Israeli Jews with the death penalty.

This measure, included in the coalition agreements of the current government, the most right-wing in Israel, and which must be approved in five more instances before it enters into force, would imply a historic change in the Jewish State regarding the death penalty, which It has not been applied for 60 years.

The text of this law, which can still be reviewed in any of the subsequent instances, provides that this punishment be applied to those who carry deadly attacks against Israelis with racist or hateful motives and with the aim of harming the State of Israel.

Its preliminary approval comes after an attack this Sunday in the north of the occupied West Bank in which a Palestinian killed two Israelis with a firearm, and in the context of a significant escalation of violence in the area.

“Our response to terror is attack terror with force and deepen our roots in our land”, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after the approval of this measure.

On the other hand, Itamar Ben Gvir, Minister of National Security and leader of the Jewish Power party, has indicated that in response to today’s attack “there is nothing more symbolic than approving the death penalty law for terrorists.”
