Israel advances law for special military trials of detained Palestinians, raising fears of 'show trials' and death penalty
Israel's Knesset is pushing a bill to establish special military courts for Palestinians detained after the Oct. 7 attack, allowing relaxed procedures and the death penalty. Critics say it would enable mass show trials and violate fair trial rights under international law. The bill has bipartisan support and could end Israel's de facto moratorium on executions.
