Knesset votes on death penalty for terrorists – fateful decision!
A controversial bill is being debated in Israel that would introduce the death penalty for terrorists. Today, November 3, 2025, reported i24 News that the Knesset National Security Committee has approved this legislative initiative. The project was introduced by the Otzma Yehudit party, and the first vote in the Knesset is scheduled for Wednesday.
The proposed regulation targets terrorists who have murdered an Israeli citizen out of hatred or hostility toward the state. If the bill passes, the death penalty could be the only possible punishment for such offenses. Another controversial point is that military courts can now decide on the imposition of the death penalty with a simple majority, instead of with unanimity as is currently the case. A pardon for finally convicted perpetrators would also be barred.
Security and dissuasion
Proponents of the new law argue that it is necessary to combat the increasing number of attacks on Jewish citizens. Gal Hirsch, the coordinator for missing persons and hostages, has changed his mind after discussions with Prime Minister Netanyahu and now supports the project. Itamar Ben-Gvir, Minister of National Security, underlined the importance of the law for the country's security and as a deterrent tool. Zvika Fogel described the adoption of the law in the Commission as a historic moment that could end previous agreements on the release of terrorists.
Although the measure is seen by many as a step towards a tougher security strategy, intense debates about its effectiveness and respect for rights are also expected. Critics warn of the possible consequences of such a regulation.
Financing in the AI sector
Elon Musk's company xAI plans to raise $20 billion in financing, which includes, among other things, the rental of Nvidia chips. However, these strategies, which do not immediately make companies' debt visible, also raise concerns. Analysts are wary of the risks associated with this form of financing, particularly in the AI sector. There is a risk that the true financial obligations remain hidden from investors.
In summary, both Israel's national security measures and tech companies' financial strategies operate in the context of a rapidly changing world, encountering unprecedented capital intensity and a host of new challenges. The coming days and weeks could be crucial for the direction taken in both the legislative and business worlds.
