France, UK, Germany, Australia Urge Israel to Rethink Terrorist Death Penalty by Hanging

The foreign ministers of France, Germany, Italy, the UK, and Australia are jointly urging Israel to rethink a new death penalty via hanging for convicted terrorists.

Under the laws passed on March 30 in the Israeli Parliament, an accused individual must be found to have intentionally caused death under the circumstance of terrorism with the aim of negating the existence of Israel.
