Israel for the death penalty
The Israeli parliament in the first reading adopted a draft law providing for the death penalty for “terrorists”. “It is proposed that a terrorist convicted of murder motivated by racism or hatred of society, in circumstances where the act was committed with the intent to harm the State of Israel, should be sentenced to death – mandatory,” a statement from the National Security Committee said. The committee clarified that the aim of the law is to “annihilate terrorism at its source and create a strong deterrent.”
The last person executed in Israel was Holocaust overseer Adolf Eichmann, captured by the Mossad in Argentina. He was hanged in 1962.
