US EditionBen-Gvir Wears Noose-Shaped Pin as Israel Debates Death Penalty for Terrorists
Otzma Yehudit MKs wore noose pins to back a bill imposing the death penalty on terrorists, which passed first reading 39-16 amid strong opposition and ethical concerns.
- On Monday, Otzma Yehudit MKs wore gold noose-shaped lapel pins to a National Security Committee meeting supporting a death-penalty bill for convicted terrorists.
- Backers including Israel Beiteinu argued the bill will deter terrorism and block prisoner-exchange releases, and it passed a November first reading toward further stages.
- Details show the bill permits execution by hanging, electric chair, injection, or firing squad, and the gold-colored noose pin is roughly the size of the yellow ribbon from Oct. 7, 2023.
- Critics including Gilad Kariv, Opposition MK, condemned the pin as a 'disgusting takeoff of the hostage pins' while Zulat for Equality and Human Rights warned the law targets nationality and ignores settler violence.
- Medical groups say the Israeli Medical Association opposes doctors' participation in executions, while government-aligned sources say 100 medical volunteers have offered to assist; critics warn the death penalty may spur kidnappings and cause public trauma.
