Israel establishes special military court to try Palestinians for October 7 attack: Justice or revenge?
Israel has passed a law creating a special military court to try about 300 Palestinians accused of involvement in the October 7, 2023 attack, with the power to impose the death penalty. Observers, human rights groups and the United Nations question whether this court can deliver genuine justice or merely amounts to organized revenge. Critics warn the legal framework may permit unfair trials, secret evidence and convictions based on coercion.
