Several Islamic nations, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Indonesia, condemned Israel’s approval of a new bill imposing the death penalty on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, warning that it could jeopardize regional stability. The criticism came in a joint statement issued by the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Qatar, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. The statement described the legislation as a serious escalation, highlighting its discriminatory application toward Palestinian prisoners and cautioning that it could deepen tensions and further destabilize the region. The law, passed by Israel’s parliament late Monday, says that Palestinians convicted by military courts of carrying out deadly terror attacks classified as ‘ terrorism’ will face capital punishment. The measure has drawn criticism from the United Nations and the European Union, while the United States expressed support for what it called Israel’s sovereign right to determine its own laws.
