Ben Gvir calls for death penalty as he faces bound Palestinian prisoners

Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir was filmed at an Israeli prison where he called for the execution of Palestinian detainees.

In a viral clip, the far-right national security minister was seen standing in front of a cell, declaring that Palestinian detainees "deserve a death penalty law."

The video then pans to several Palestinians inside the cell, shackled and kneeling in a stress position with their backs to the camera.

His remarks come as parliament prepares to debate a series of controversial bills, including one that would impose the death penalty on those convicted of terrorism.

Ben Gvir, who oversees prison affairs, has long called for the death penalty for Palestinians and harsher prison conditions.
