The Law of the Noose: Israel’s Discriminatory Execution Bill Targeting Palestinians
About this episode
This episode discusses Israel's new death penalty law targeting Palestinians and its implications on the legal system.
On March 30, 2026, Israel passed a new "death penalty law" that would impose the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of what Israel defines as “terrorism.” In this episode of This is Palestine, we speak with Qaddura Fares, former head of the Palestinian Commission for Prisoners’ Affairs and a former political prisoner himself, to unpack what this law actually changes and what it reveals about Israel’s discriminatory unequal legal system and political framework against Palestinians.
