Travis_Bickle I neither share your legal insight on the matter nor your confidence on the outcome.
What I would say is that in 2026, to be even having this conversation/hope of a reprieve is an absolute disgrace. You are in the criminal legal profession, and the Bill should make yours & your colleagues blood chill, regardless of your general viewpoint on the Middle East.
It's basically state sanction murder along ethnic lines, after a kangaroo court, by one of the most inhumane methods of killing there is. It's a grotesque spectacle, and one that doesn't address the true nature of who's committing the majority of the murders in the West Bank.
The Bill was was passed 62-48 in the Knesset, which shows that it's not a fringe concept amongst a group of political outliers, secondly a 2017 poll found that close to 70% of Israelis would support giving the death penalty, after a trial, to terrorists who are convicted of murdering Israeli citizens. So, it's not even solely an idea of the political class. As a comparison it's the kind of number & weight of support held by Reform voters in the UK on the matter, and they'd be rightly laughed at for it.
