The big picture:
This marks the second round of parliamentary debate on the issue, reflecting growing political and public controversy over capital punishment.
Ben-Gvir’s symbolic gesture and rhetoric highlight deep divisions within the occupied territories over the treatment of Palestinian prisoners and the broader debate on justice and security.
What he's saying:
Ben-Gvir reiterated his commitment to advancing legislation that would allow the execution of Palestinian detainees.
He has long been one of the most vocal advocates of the death penalty, repeatedly threatening prisoners in the past.
During the session, he cited recent figures claiming 110 “terrorists” had died during his tenure, adding he would not apologize for actions taken in prisons.
