Israel's Knesset passes death penalty law for terrorists

Israel's Knesset approved a death penalty law for terrorists in its second and third readings, with 62 members voting in favor, 48 against, and 1 abstaining. The law now awaits review by the Supreme Court. The Islamic Jihad Movement condemned the legislation, calling it "a dangerous escalation and a violation of international norms" that turns prisons into "arenas for political assassinations."
