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

The Red Ribbons Campaign 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 the proposed measures. The group noted that at least 3,532 Palestinians are currently held in administrative detention without charge or trial, with approximately 9,100 Palestinians held unlawfully in Israeli custody overall.
