Far-right Israeli lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir has called for the reinstatement of the death penalty for a Palestinian accused of killing an Israeli settler, arguing that the current legal system fails to deliver justice. The demand comes amid rising tensions in the West Bank, where settler violence and Palestinian retaliation have escalated in recent weeks. Ben-Gvir, a prominent figure in Israel’s government, has previously advocated for stricter security measures and harsher penalties for attacks against Israelis. His latest statement reflects growing political pressure to address perceived leniency in the judicial handling of such cases.
