Rom Braslavski, a former Israeli captive, has asked National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir to allow him to execute Palestinian prisoners by hanging, Al Jazeera English reported. The request represents a direct appeal to a senior Israeli official for authority to carry out capital punishment against detainees.
Ben-Gvir has adopted hardline positions on Palestinian prisoners and security matters since taking office. He has previously signaled support for severe measures against those held in Israeli custody. The exchange reflects deepening debate within Israeli politics over detention practices and the legal treatment of Palestinian detainees held by Israeli authorities.
