Liberman, PM said to agree on death penalty for terrorists
Channel 10 reports that Netanyahu and Liberman have agreed on a draft bill to allow the death penalty for convicted terrorists.
The two are meeting to finalize the wording of the bill, the report says.
Netanyahu in 2015 ordered Likud party members to oppose a similar initiative, and then-attorney general Yehuda Weinstein indicated he would intervene if the bill advanced in the Knesset.
