A contentious bill aimed at splitting the role of Israel's attorney-general has been unanimously approved by a Knesset committee, advancing it towards its first reading.
An Otzma Yehudit spokesperson confirmed that a Knesset committee is expected to approve a death penalty bill for its final plenum readings.
Israeli forces have reportedly arrested more than 23,000 Palestinians in the West Bank since the conflict in Gaza began in October 2023. These arrests have been a significant part of the ongoing tensions in the region.

Legislation initiated by the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, which seeks to impose the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of certain offenses, has advanced to a final vote in Israel's parliament, drawing mounting criticism from opponents and rights groups.
