Ben Gvir Urges Netanyahu to Push for Death Penalty and Harsher Punishments for Terrorists

(Police spokesperson)

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir on Thursday called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to urgently convene the Cabinet for discussions on imposing the death penalty for terrorists and advancing tougher legislation aimed at deterring and punishing terrorism in Israel.

“The time has come to impose the death penalty on terrorists who carry out deadly attacks in Israel,” Ben Gvir wrote. “Terrorists who enter our streets and murder innocent people are not deterred enough, and the necessary step is to toughen the punishment.”

Ben Gvir pointed out that Article 116 of the coalition agreements between his party and Netanyahu’s Likud includes a commitment from Likud to support the death penalty for terrorists. He insisted that the time had come to fulfill that promise.

Alongside the death penalty, Ben Gvir is pushing for additional measures, including the deportation of terrorists’ families, stripping families of social benefits and allowances, and granting police commissioners the authority to demolish the homes of terrorists.

“Taking these difficult measures is a national, security, and moral obligation to maintain the security of the citizens of Israel,” Ben Gvir said, reiterating his call for harsher penalties to deter future attacks. He stressed that such actions are necessary to protect innocent lives and send a strong message to those who seek to harm Israeli citizens.

    שופך דם האדם באדם דמו ישפך
    ולא תקחו כופר לנפש רוצח אשר אשר הוא רשע למות כי מות יומת
    ולא תחניפו את הארץ ….ולארץ לא יכופר לדם אשר שופך בה כי אם בדם שופכו.
    Any comment to the contrary should have their head examined.

  4. it’s tempting to sentence murderers to death, but it also has 2 drawbacks. first, terrorists are more likely to fight to the death rather than be captured, which makes them more dangerous. and second, it reduces israel’s potential “trading stock” to exchange for israeli captives. even if enacted, it would take years to carry out an execution, before they exhausted all the legal means, effectively keeping them in jail indefinitely, or until the next israeli is kidnapped. just like it is now.
