The UN Human Rights Office Mission in the Occupied Palestinian Territories shared the issue on its account on the social media platform X.
The post said: “Israel should immediately repeal the discriminatory death penalty law passed in Parliament today. This law contradicts Israel's obligations under international law.” It has been said.
The post stressed that the United Nations opposes the death penalty in all circumstances and that the implementation of this new law would violate the provision of international law prohibiting cruel, inhuman or degrading punishments.
“On the other hand, this law will further strengthen Israel's prohibition on racial discrimination and apartheid, as it specifically applies to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Israel and these people are often convicted after unfair trials,” the post said. Expressions were used.
The Israeli parliament approved the controversial bill that would impose the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners with 62 votes in favor and 48 against.
