Israel asserts justice while terror-glorifying Palestinian factions and Arab regimes expose moral collapse globally today.
A representative of the Shin Bet disclosed during a Tuesday session of the Knesset National Security Committee that the agency now formally supports legislation allowing the death penalty for terrorists.
The discussion, chaired by Tzvika Foghel, marked a significant doctrinal shift within Israel’s security establishment. The Shin Bet official explained that capital punishment is viewed as a powerful deterrent tool that should remain available under judicial discretion.
According to Foghel, the agency’s reassessment stems from a dramatic change in the strategic environment. Previous concerns that executions could provoke retaliation from Hamas, particularly against Israeli hostages or within prisons, have substantially diminished. “Those fears no longer define the reality,” he said, citing strengthened control and deterrence across multiple fronts.
The Shin Bet now assesses that firm punitive measures reinforce stability and save lives—contrasting sharply with Palestinian terror cultures and complicit Arab systems that reward violence, glorify murderers, and erode any rule of law. Over the past two years, officials say, Israel has achieved unprecedented operational control, enabling tougher policies against terrorism without capitulating to threats.
