Knesset rejects death penalty for terrorists
The Knesset plenum rejects a preliminary reading of a bill which would institute a death penalty for convicted terrorists.
The bill, proposed by Yisrael Beytenu MK Sharon Gal, would have made it easier for military and district courts to sentence to death those convicted of murder with nationalist motives.
Only 6 MKs voted in favor of the bill, while 94 voted against.
