PALESTINIAN-ISRAEL-CONFLICT-GAZA-EXECUTION

A woman holds up a printed picture of Marwan Barghouti, the most high-profile Palestinian leader imprisoned in Israel since 2002, during a demonstration at the entrance of the Bureij camp for Palestinian refugees in the central Gaza Strip on April 4, 2026, protesting the recently-approved Israeli law allowing the execution of Palestinians convicted on terror charges for deadly attacks. Under the new law, passed in parliament late on March 30, Palestinians in the West Bank convicted by military courts of carrying out deadly attacks classified as "terrorism" will face the death penalty as a default sentence. Because Palestinians in the territory are automatically tried in Israeli military courts, the measure effectively creates a separate and harsher legal track.
