Israel's far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video of a gallows site, The Guardian reported, stating that Palestinians convicted of terror offences in military courts will be executed following passage of a death penalty law. The legislation does not apply to Jewish extremists.
Ben-Gvir's video marked an escalation in rhetoric from the minister, who has previously called for capital punishment against Palestinians accused of security offences. The posted content displayed the gallows structure alongside the minister's declarations about implementing executions. The law enabling such sentences applies exclusively to non-Jewish defendants tried in Israel's military court system, drawing sharp distinctions in how the penalty applies across the population.
