In the immediate, volatile aftermath of a deadly multi-site shooting that left one dead and five wounded inside the Green Line, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has issued a hardline ultimatum demanding the immediate application of capital punishment for any surviving perpetrators.
Taking to social media, the leader of the ultranationalist Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Strength) party insisted that if any member of the armed cell is captured alive by security forces, they must face swift execution.
Death penalty law plea
Ben-Gvir forcefully defended the stance by pointing to his party's signature, highly controversial legislative victory.
"This is precisely why Jewish Strength enacted the 'Death Penalty for Terrorists' Law," Ben-Gvir stated, aggressively pressuring judicial and military authorities to enforce the statute to its fullest extent.
The minister’s comments lean heavily into raw nationalist rhetoric, with Ben-Gvir warning that "Jewish blood is not forfeit" and explicitly declaring that "whoever murders a Jew—will see the hangman's noose."
