A bill granting authority to impose the death penalty and conduct public trials for terrorists involved in the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks is set to advance to its second and third readings on Monday. The legislation would create a special legal framework for prosecuting Hamas terrorists and others involved in the massacre.
This includes Nukhba terrorists captured inside Israel. The legislature returns from recess as the measure moves forward. A joint press conference was held on Sunday to discuss the upcoming vote. The bill has been advanced by officials seeking to establish this separate prosecution process for those linked to the attacks.
No further details on the exact provisions or timeline beyond the Monday readings were provided in the reporting. Officials stated the framework targets only those directly involved in the October 7 events. The measure would apply to captured individuals already in custody as well as others identified as participants.
