In Israel, pre-approved the introduction of the death penalty for terrorists
The Israeli Knesset has previously supported a bill that simplifies the military courts to impose the death penalty on terrorists.
The bill, which is funded by Defense Minister Avigdorom Lieberman, still has to go through three rounds of voting in the Knesset to become law, writes Haaretz.
The Security Service opposes the bill, which is likely to cause a wave of abductions of Jews around the world to use in negotiations.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also expressed his full support for the bill, noting that the document is not a whim of the country's authorities, and the death penalty must be introduced for terrorism, since a terrorist act is a war crime.
“A few weeks ago, I reassured Solomon’s family,” Netanyahu said, referring to the terrorist attack on the family at their home in the Halamish settlement during a Shabbat meal that left three people dead. “A family who survived a terrible attack told me how the terrorist held a knife, killed and laughed. I said there are people who commit horrendous crimes and don't deserve to live. They must feel the full weight of the law."
Opposition MP Tzipi Livni opposed the bill. “I have no compassion or sorrow for terrorists,” she said, calling the legislation “100 percent reckless policy.”
The bill passed a preliminary vote in which it was supported by the 52 legislator, and opposed by 49.
According to the text of the bill, the military prosecutor may require the death penalty for a terrorist at its discretion. In addition, it is proposed that the death penalty should not be passed by unanimous decision of a military court, but by a majority of the judges. The bill also prohibits leniency after the final death sentence.
