Members of Israeli Likud Party are scheduled to submit a new bill which supports the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners who are allegedly involved in anti-occupation attacks Israeli media sources said.
According to the sources the bill came under the garb of “anti-terrorism measures.”
Deputy Knesset Chair MK Nava Boker (Likud) proposed a bill which would allow Israeli courts to sentence to death “those who acted as emissaries of our enemies and terror organizations killing…the innocent.”
“I have no doubt that the death penalty together with other methods will provide real deterrence and help us eradicate terror in Israel” she claimed.
Earlier last month Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Army Minister Avigdor Lieberman urged Israeli military courts to seek the death penalty for anti-occupation youths.
