> Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has posted a video celebrating construction of a gallows facility for Palestinians convicted of terror offences in military courts. He said families of victims would be able to watch executions from viewing booths. The death penalty law does not apply to Israelis and has drawn widespread international condemnation as discriminatory.
