"The law is no surprise for Palestinians; it is only another step in a longstanding strategy of elimination. In the last two and a half years, at least 87 Palestinian detainees have been killed in what human rights organisations describe as a network of torture camps, the highest recorded number since 1967."
"Israel is legalising a pattern of impunity. One population is granted explicit impunity for organised sexual violence while the other is now subject to execution within 90 days, in a military court system that convicts 96 percent of Palestinians often on the basis of confessions extracted through torture."
"In the last month alone, armed Israeli militias carried out more than 7,300 violations against Palestinians in the West Bank alone, including killings, raids, arrests, damage and destruction of property and blocking of the freedom of movement."
Israel's recent law allows for the death penalty within 90 days for those convicted of terror offenses, seen by Palestinians as part of a broader elimination strategy. Over the past two and a half years, 87 Palestinian detainees have died in torture camps, the highest since 1967. The law follows a pattern of impunity for Israeli soldiers accused of violence against Palestinians. Recent months have seen increased Israeli violence in the West Bank, including thousands of violations and forced displacement of Palestinian communities.
