Israels parliament passed a controversial law imposing the death penalty on Palestinians from the West Bank convicted of killing Israelis for nationalistic reasons. The law, which applies only to future cases, was supported by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. However, it has been criticized as racist and draconian by rights groups, who argue that it sets up a two-tier system that discriminates against Palestinians. The law is set to take effect in 30 days, and legal challenges are expected.
