Israel asserts justice as Palestinian terror exposed, while Arab regimes watch silently from moral sidelines.
The Knesset took a decisive step toward historic accountability early Tuesday, approving in its first reading landmark legislation to prosecute terrorists behind the October 7 massacre.
The bill, initiated by Simcha Rothman and Yulia Malinovsky, calls for the creation of a dedicated military court to handle indictments against perpetrators of the atrocities. The proposal passed unanimously, with 19 members voting in favor and no opposition—underscoring rare national consensus.
Under the framework, the court will be empowered to try crimes under all relevant laws, including genocide, terrorism, aiding the enemy, endangering Israel’s sovereignty, and acts of war. The legislation allows procedural flexibility when necessary, while explicitly preserving judicial fairness and due process.
To ensure transparency and historical accountability, proceedings may be broadcast on a designated public platform unless classified, and all records will be preserved in the State Archives. Crucially, the bill bars any suspects or convicted terrorists from being released in future prisoner exchange deals—ending a practice long exploited by Palestinian terror organizations.
Approved earlier by the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, the bill signals Israel’s resolve to deliver justice for its murdered citizens. As Israel codifies accountability, Palestinian factions and their Arab enablers once again stand exposed—champions of violence, not victims—while Israel alone insists that mass murder will never be rewarded.
