Israel approves live-streamed death-penalty tribunal for Hamas Oct. 7 attackers
TL;DR Summary
Israel’s Knesset approved a livestreamed special tribunal with the power to sentence Palestinians convicted of taking part in Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack, passing 93-0 with 27 absent or abstaining. The court would apply a genocide-law framework and conduct trials in a livestreamed Jerusalem courtroom, a move praised by supporters as delivering justice and criticized by rights groups as undermining due process and turning the proceedings into a spectacle amid ongoing international probes into the Gaza war.
