Alwaght- Israeli regime aims to add to its record of human rights violation that’s horrific by any standard. The Israeli regime's Knesset is set to discuss a bill that allows Palestinian detainees' execution, Israeli regime-based Ynetnews reported Sunday.
The proposed legislation is Yisrael Beytenu's flagship bill, an election promise made during the last electoral race.
The legislation has recently garnered support from different members of the coalition. Likud ministers Miri Regev, Ofir Akunis, Danny Danon and Ze'ev Elkin said they will back the legislation.
Yisrael Beytenu raised the proposal to a discussion at the Ministerial Committee for Legislation on Sunday, which decided to postpone the vote for three months in order to allow the committee time to examine the legislation.
According to the current law, a death sentence requires a unanimous decision. The law applies only in a military court and it allows a major general to mitigate the punishment. The amendment to the penal code entitled "the death penalty sentence for a convicted murderer motivated by nationalism" stipulates that a death sentence can be declared by simple majority.
A similar bill proposed earlier failed to see the day after human rights organizations voiced their firm condemnation.
