Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir raised the issue of implementing the death penalty for terrorists during a limited security discussion held just two hours before the start of Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. The discussion reportedly took place in a restricted format.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu subsequently requested answers from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) regarding the implementation of the existing law. A follow-up meeting is scheduled to address the matter further, which will include the IDF's top legal advisor, the Military Advocate General.
The proposal by Ben-Gvir, who also leads the Otzma Yehudit party, is part of his ongoing efforts to advance legislation for capital punishment for individuals convicted of terrorism. This issue has been a recurring point of contention within Israeli politics and security circles.
