Israel Builds Gallows, Viewing Booths to Execute Palestinians
Ben-Gvir said the new wing would include hanging facilities and viewing booths as rights groups challenge a law passed by 62 Knesset members.
- On Tuesday, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir shared footage showing construction of hanging facilities and observation booths intended for executing Palestinian prisoners at a prison facility.
- This follows the 'Death Penalty for Terrorists Law' passed earlier this year, which mandates death by hanging for Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis in military courts.
- Challenging the law before the Supreme Court, Adalah argued the facility represents the "grotesque culmination" of a policy turning lethal detention into an instrument of state execution.
- Israeli Knesset member Ofer Cassif labeled Ben-Gvir a "pathological racist" and "infantile," while Germany's Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil condemned the remarks as unacceptable and called for sanctions.
- Ben-Gvir's recent comments have drawn criticism, including a pledge last week to allow a former hostage to execute Palestinians and calls for killing 30 to 40 people nightly in Gaza.
