Find Out Which Side Each Knesset Member Voted in Death Penalty for Palestinian Prisoners’ Bill

ISRAEL – The Israeli Knesset on Monday approved the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners, with 62 voting in favor of the bill, 47 against, and 1 abstention.

The contentious bill introduced by the far-right Jewish Power party led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was approved in its second and third readings in the Knesset.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voted in favor of the bill, according to Israeli media. The bill passed its first reading in November.

Critics say the bill’s scope would, in practice, apply almost exclusively to Palestinian prisoners, raising concerns over discriminatory enforcement.

The vote exposed sharp divisions between the ruling coalition and opposition, including Arab parties.
