Israel Passes Controversial Death Penalty Law for Palestinian Terrorists

Israel's parliament has approved a contentious death penalty law targeting Palestinians convicted of deadly terrorist attacks. According to Ming Pao, the legislation mandates the death penalty as the default punishment for Palestinians found guilty by military courts of committing fatal acts of terrorism. Critics argue that the law discriminates against Palestinians and have condemned it as undermining Israel's commitment to democratic principles. Several European countries have also criticized Israel for this move, expressing concerns over its implications for democracy.
