Netanyahu calls for Halamish terrorist to be executed

Prime Minister Netanyahu calls to implement the death penalty against terrorists, saying the Palestinian assailant who stabbed to death three members of the Salomon family last week should be executed.

Speaking while making a condolence call to the bereaved family, Netanyahu says “the time has come” to implement the death penalty for convicted terrorists.

“This is enshrined in law, while it requires a unanimous opinion of all the judges, there is a desire to know what the government’s position on this is,” he says.

“My stance as prime minister in this case of such a despicable murder, is that he should be executed,” he says of the Halamish killer. “He should not be allowed to smile anymore.”
