Israel minister unveils gallows facility for Palestinians convicted of terrorism amid criticism [Courtesy]
Israel's far-right National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has shared video footage showing the construction of a gallows facility intended to execute Palestinians convicted of terrorism in military courts.
In the clip seen by TNX Africa, Ben-Gvir said the execution facility would include special viewing areas for victims' families.
“There will be a viewing area. The victim of the crime comes and, just like in the US, they see them executed,” he said.
The law underpinning the facility specifically targets Palestinian defendants, with legal provisions restricting the death penalty to those accused of acts intended to deny the existence of the Israeli state. Critics say this effectively shields Jewish extremists from the sentence.
