I hope the death penalty bill passes. warehousing terrorist who become currency in hostage exchanges is just counter-productive.

“This proposal attempts to create a deterrent against abductions. We propose that, in addition to life sentences, the court can sentence terrorists convicted of murder with conditional death sentences whereby the death sentence comes into force if a terror organization requests their release, such as in a hostage exchange.”

What an excellent and innovative approach, given the sad fact that the need in Israel for the death penalty (unlike any other democracies) is primarily to prevent the release of these killers in future ransom deals.
