Episode Details

Israels parliament has passed a controversial bill, making the death penalty the default punishment for Palestinians in the West Bank convicted of nationalistic murders of Israelis. The bill, which targets killings that reject Israels existence, was passed with a narrow majority and has been criticized by rights groups and foreign ministers as discriminatory and ineffective for deterrence. The law will not apply retroactively to current prisoners and is expected to face challenges in the high court. The move has sparked protests and has raised concerns about Israels rare use of capital punishment.
