'Inhumane and degrading': Israel set to approve death penalty for Palestinians

Israel's parliament is preparing for a final vote on a bill to allow the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners convicted of terrorism. The legislation, sponsored by a far-right party, has been condemned by Germany, France, Italy, and the UK as inhumane, discriminatory, and a violation of democratic principles. Rights groups and families of prisoners are alarmed, describing the harsh conditions and torture already faced by detainees as a slow execution. The Israeli military has also reportedly expressed concerns that the bill could violate international law.
