Head of Hostages Unit Supports Death Penalty Bill

During a Knesset discussion on the proposed death penalty law for terrorists, Head of the Hostages and Missing Persons Unit Gal Hirsch explained his position: “In the previous debate, I strongly opposed discussing this topic due to the danger it posed to living hostages. The mission was not yet complete, and we still have eight deceased hostages to return. Our forces continue to work tirelessly to bring them all home. The living hostages remain here thanks to our soldiers, security forces, and President Trump. “Today, the reality has changed, and my prior opposition is no longer relevant. The Prime Minister supports the bill, and I see it as a tool in the broader campaign against terror.”
