( May 15, 2026 / JNS ) On May 11, the Knesset voted 93-0 in favor of a law providing a legal framework for the prosecution of terrorists involved in the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas invasion. The law was hailed as “historic” by its legislators.
The legislation details how judges and prosecutors are to be selected, how trials are to be conducted, and provides for an appeals process.
“The purpose of this law is to regulate the prosecution of perpetrators of acts of hostility, murder, sexual crimes, kidnapping and looting carried out by the Hamas terrorist organization and its partners as part of the murderous terrorist attack,” its explanatory section says.
