The Israeli Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have expressed reservations about the proposed death penalty law for terrorists, even after several amendments were introduced to soften its provisions. In a brief opinion submitted to the National Security Committee, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated that their position on the matter remains unchanged. The document, prepared by advisor Ze'ev Dolbi, indicated that the latest draft of the law does not adequately address the concerns raised by the Ministry regarding its implications and effectiveness.

This persistent opposition highlights the ongoing debate within Israeli society regarding the appropriateness and effectiveness of capital punishment as a response to terrorism. Legal experts and human rights groups have voiced their concerns about the potential for misuse of such laws, implications for the judicial process, and ethical considerations regarding the death penalty itself. The law's critics suggest that even softened versions of the legislation fail to resolve important legal questions and may lead to significant risks for the accused.

As the legislative process continues, the opposition from key governmental departments signifies a broader unease about the implications of introducing a controversial law. The outcome of this proposal could not only affect its immediate targets but also set a precedent for future legislation related to punishment and national security in Israel, potentially influencing public perception and international relations as well.
