Ben-Gvir Pushes Israel Terrorist Death Penalty Law Despite PMO Objection
Despite objections from officials and hostage families, the Knesset panel has pushed forward a bill that National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir says is key to deterring terrorism.
Ben-Gvir attended a National Security committee meeting at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, on September 28, 2025, where the controversial legislation was discussed.
The bill, which aims to implement the death penalty for terrorists, has sparked significant debate, with the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) expressing strong objections. Nevertheless, the proposal moved ahead in the Knesset panel, highlighting a divided stance within Israel’s leadership on the issue.
