In what may be the most consequential — and controversial — development of the day, Israel has enacted a law permitting the execution by hanging of Palestinians. According to Greek outlet Ethnos, far-right Israeli politicians celebrated the measure, which lays out the framework for sending Palestinians to the gallows. The legislation has drawn sharp condemnation from European governments, though Greece’s official stance has been notably cautious. The law marks a dramatic escalation in Israeli policy toward Palestinians and is certain to intensify international debate over human rights in the region.
