Israel is brazenly granting itself carte blanche to execute Palestinians while stripping away the most basic fair-trial safeguards.
The new law dismantles fundamental safeguards to prevent the arbitrary deprivation of life and protect the right to a fair trial. It further empowers Israel’s system of apartheid, which is maintained by scores of discriminatory laws against Palestinians.

“Life in Gaza today is nothing other than misery”
Philippe Lazzarini, the outgoing head of the UNRWA reflects on Israeal’s genocidal war on Palestine’s Gaza since October 2023 that saw “breaches of international law... atrocities, attacks against the United Nations”
"The question Member States must answer is clear: are they going to stand up for just political solution for the OPT and for Palestinian refugees? Are they going to stand up for international law? Are they going to stand up for the UN, including for @UNRWA?"
- @UNLazzarini
“I wasn’t throwing stones; I was just sitting here.” A Palestinian boy named Mohammed Hannani recounts the brutal assault he was subjected to by Israeli soldiers in Beit Furik, near Nablus, in Palestine’s occupied West Bank, while he was sitting with his friends.
What Israel has approved isn’t merely a death penalty law. It’s death penalty specifically for Palestinians, an apartheid law designed to be applicable only to one group. It’s deeply disturbing, yet it is in no way a deviation from the path Israel has been on for years 🧵
Was hoping this photo was not real.
Sadly it is. This is the Deputy Speaker of the Knesset dressed up as "Death Penalty", holding a hanging noose. Her settler husband is holding a prop gun labeled "Occupation," an airplane labeled "Expulsion," and a house labeled "Settlement."
📢 The World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) strongly condemns the adoption of the new bill by the 🇮🇱 Israeli Knesset expanding the use of the death penalty.
By introducing a discriminatory legal framework that overwhelmingly targets 🇵🇸 Palestinians, this law entrenches a two-tiered system of justice and risks irreversible violations of the right to life. Its application in military courts—where due process is deeply compromised and conviction rates are extremely high—raises grave concerns, particularly in a context where torture and ill-treatment remain widely reported.
The bill stands in direct contradiction with the recommendations of the Committee Against Torture, which urged the State to move toward abolition and warned against the arbitrary and discriminatory use of capital punishment. At a time when implementation of these recommendations is critical, this law represents a dangerous step backwards.
OMCT reiterates its absolute opposition to the death penalty in all circumstances and calls for the immediate repeal of this legislation.

This is Isfahan, Iran, tonight.
Trump and Israel are massively bombing a city older than most of the modern world.
Over 2,500 years of history.
Nearly 2 million civilians.
And they call it “liberation.”
Absolute war crimes. BBC reveals UN peacekeepers are being killed in southern Lebanon. The attacks are happening in areas completely controlled by the Israeli military. The Zionist regime is murdering UN forces with zero global accountability.
Israel executed Hassan today in Aaitit, South Lebanon.
Not a combatant. Not armed.
Just a paramedic on the front lines saving lives.
Israel dropped a bomb on his ambulance, killing him and wounding 4 others.
Read that again.
Palestine | "Israel’s actions in the West Bank amount to an institutionalized regime of systematic discrimination, oppression and violence against Palestinians, largely aimed at their subjugation and permanent dispossession," @NadaNashif told the @UN Human Rights Council.
#HRC61
As of March 2026, some 9,446 Palestinians are held in Israeli prisons; 4,691 of them are under administrative detention, imprisoned without charge, trial, or the ability to defend themselves.
Even during the illegal and deadly Israeli-American attack on Iran, Israel continues to operate a network of torture camps for Palestinian prisoners from north to south, where they are subjected to systematic abuse, including physical and psychological violence, inhuman conditions, starvation and denial of medical treatment.
84 identified Palestinians, including one minor, have died in Israeli torture camps over the last two years, and there is grave concern that the real number is higher.
This policy persists with the full support of Israel’s political establishment, judicial system, prison authorities and media. The Israel Prison Service and the Minister for National Security have publicly bragged about the harsh conditions imposed on Palestinian prisoners.
These torture camps are part of the planned, extensive assault Israel is waging against Palestinian society, intended to break down and destroy Palestinians as a group.

An Israeli sociologist confirms the civilian death toll in Gaza is higher than all world conflicts since WW2. The IDF explicitly authorized killing up to 100 civilians for a single senior militant. This is written doctrine and a budgeted line item. Verified via IDF Database
