Ben-Gvir Pushes Israel Terrorist Death Penalty Law Despite PMO Objection
Despite objections from officials and hostage families, the Knesset panel pushed forward a bill that National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir says is key to deterrence against terrorism.
Ben-Gvir attended a National Security committee meeting at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, on September 28, 2025, to advocate for the proposed law.
The bill, aimed at imposing the death penalty on terrorists, has sparked significant debate, with critics arguing against its implementation. However, Ben-Gvir maintains that the measure is essential for enhancing national security and deterring future attacks.
