Israel Proposes Death Penalty Only for Palestinian Attacks

A new Israeli bill would apply the death penalty solely to Palestinians convicted of terrorism, legal experts warn. The proposed law would not apply to Israeli Jews, including those convicted of killing civilians in the occupied West Bank. Analysts say the legislation highlights a deepening divide in Israel's legal system. It is being debated ahead of upcoming national elections. The bill is seen as a key example of the government's current political direction. Critics argue it creates a two-tier justice system based on nationality. Supporters say it is a necessary security measure.
