October 7 genocide: MKs submit bill for prosecution of Hamas Nukhba terrorists
A new bill submitted by the Chair of the Constitution Committee, Religious Zionist Party MK Simcha Rothman, and Yisrael Beytenu MK Yulia Malinovsky will define the October 7 massacre carried out by Hamas as genocide.
By defining the October 7 massacre carried out by Hamas and other entities against the Jewish people and the State of Israel as genocide, it will fall under specific definitions and special conditions. The bill also set special conditions for the imprisonment and prosecution of terrorists who participated in the October 7 massacre.
This step has been previously avoided due to legal challenges and possible international ramifications.
The proposal states, "The complexity of the events, their unprecedented scale, and the unique nature of the crimes committed requires a unique legal approach. The regular judicial system is not equipped to handle such a scale of severe crimes carried out simultaneously by hundreds of perpetrators." It further states that "the unique nature of these crimes" necessitates "expertise and a distinctive legal approach."
