"The death penalty is on the way out in America."

Trump "will reverse the changes this [Biden's] administration has made [on the death penalty]."

The bill was co-sponsored by coalition MK Simcha Rothman and opposition MK Yulia Malinovsky, with Justice Minister Yariv Levin calling its passage "one of the most important moments of the current Knesset."

The new tribunal is separate from a death penalty law passed in March covering Palestinians convicted of murdering Israelis, which cannot be applied retroactively to Oct. 7 suspects. Adolf Eichmann, hanged in 1962, remains the only person executed under Israeli law.

Senior Israeli law enforcement officials told the New York Times that prosecutors have yet to finalize indictments and some investigations are ongoing, with trials potentially still a year away. The tribunal's estimated cost ranges from 2 billion to 5 billion shekels.
