It appears likely that a bill sponsored by the Yisrael Beitenu party permitting a military court to sentence a terrorist to death even if the court’s decision is not unanimous is likely to pass into law. The bill also stipulates a regular civilian court may also sentence a terrorist to death, not just a military court.

The bill will likely be addressed by the Ministerial Law Committee in the next week too two.
