‘Death Penalty’ Law By Israeli Legislative

“Recent Israeli legislative moves, including the so-called ‘Death Penalty’ law  targeting Palestinian prisoners, have raised serious legal and moral concerns as they  expand capital punishment and challenge compatibility with international law. Since the outbreakof an ongoing genocidal war in Gaza, more than 100 Palestinian detainees have reportedly died in custody raising serious  concerns about their treatment and conditions of detention,” said Shawesh. “Since October 7, 2023 approximately 22,000 Palestinians have been arrested in the Occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem out of which 1,760 are children, 731 women and 240 journalists. Moreover since 1967, nearly three-quarters of a million Palestinians have been subjected to  arrest and detention not for crimes as we know them, but for exercising a fundamental and universally  recognized right; the right to resist occupation,” adds Shawesh. The Palestinian Prisoners’ Day is observed annually on 17 April.
