🇮🇱 Ben-Gvir once again makes the death penalty part of his election campaign

On the evening of September 27, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir published a video of his meeting in prison with Hamas member Hassan Salama, who is serving 46 life sentences for organizing the 1996 attacks. Ben-Gvir told the prisoner: “I want to execute you.” ⁠

The death penalty for certain terrorist offenses was already approved by the Knesset in March 2026, and in the summer Ben-Gvir showed the site under construction for carrying out sentences. Previously, Israel’s Central Elections Committee had classified some of his videos from prisons as the unlawful use of state resources for campaign purposes. 

One month before the elections on October 27, Ben-Gvir is once again putting tougher treatment of Palestinian prisoners and the use of the death penalty at the center of his election campaign.
