Ben Gvir branded 'hangman of the century' over push for Palestinian executions

The Red Ribbons Campaign, a human rights group, condemned Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's push for death penalty legislation targeting Palestinians, describing him as the "hangman of the century" and warning that detainees could face execution under proposed measures. Ben Gvir has publicly advocated for the death penalty since the Knesset approved the legislation in March; the group stated he must face "the highest level of scrutiny and accountability" for promoting execution within a detention system marked by "deep inequality."
