Video: Israeli lawmakers celebrate as Knesset advances death penalty bill
Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir handed out sweets at the Knesset on Monday to celebrate lawmakers voting in favour of a bill that would impose the death penalty on “terrorists” — the first of three votes required for it to become law.
Thirty-nine lawmakers voted in favour of the bill, while 16 voted against it.
The bill will now return to the Knesset’s National Security Committee.
