He said the measures are necessary to punish Palestinians even as human rights groups warned that the questionable law deepens state violence and undermines legal safeguards. Israel will only be executing Palestinian prisoners and does not extend the same punishment to Israeli citizens, highlighting its discriminatory nature. International condemnation has been swift as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights called the law discriminatory and a potential war crime. European governments, including Britain, France and Germany, described it as dangerously discriminatory, while many Muslim‑majority states, including Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt, denounced it as a violation of international law. Amnesty International said the law undermines due process and fair trial rights, and other regional human rights forums called for urgent global action to halt its implementation. Critics argue the legislation entrenches a racist system of state violence and specifically targets Palestinians. Support stories that matter.
