The Parliament of #Israel on Monday passed a #law approving the #DeathPenalty for #Palestinians convicted of murdering Israelis.
The bill’s passage marked the culmination of a yearslong push by Israel’s #FarRight to escalate punishment for Palestinians convicted of nationalistic offenses against Israelis. Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu came to the chamber to vote yes in person.

“Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,” Trump told the newspaper. “It would also mean we had to be there (on Kharg Island) for a while.”
