The Israeli Knesset’s National Security Committee has advanced a bill to allow the execution of Palestinian prisoners, voting late on 24 March to approve the final two votes that will codify the draft law into legislation.

The bill was put forward by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit party.

MK Limor Son Har-Melech, Ben Gvir’s party colleague who sponsored the bill, said “the law sets out a clear and unequivocal message: Those who choose to murder Jews because they are Jews lose their right to live,” while calling it “a moral and necessary step.”

“No more revolving door of attacks, imprisonments, and releases. This law restores deterrence, restores justice, and sends a clear and unambiguous message to our enemies: Jewish blood is not cheap. We will continue to lead an uncompromising policy against terror until victory,” Ben Gvir said after the vote.

An Otzma Yehudit statement said the bill will head for its final readings next week.

The bill was approved in a preliminary reading in March 2023 and passed its first official reading in the Knesset in November 2025.

It requires another two readings to be passed into law. Executions will apply only to Palestinians who kill or attempt to kill Israelis, and not to Israeli soldiers or settlers responsible for war crimes.

Ben Gvir, who assumed control of the prison system when Netanyahu’s government came to power, has long pushed for the execution of Palestinians.

Last month, Hebrew news outlet Channel 13 reported that the Israeli prison service has plans to set up an “execution facility.” According to the report, the facility has already been unofficially named “The Israeli Green Mile,” a reference to the 1996 novel about death row, later adapted into a film in 1999.

Three prison guards would be responsible for pressing the trigger in unison in order to hang a detainee. Taking part would be voluntary, and the executioners would receive special training, the report adds.
