FACTBOX – 62 Israeli Knesset members back, 47 oppose Palestinian prisoners’ death penalty law: Who are they?

ISTANBUL

Israel’s Knesset approved a controversial law Monday allowing the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners, with 62 lawmakers voting in favor, 47 against and one abstaining, according to an official Knesset voting record.

A contentious bill introduced by the far-right Jewish Power party led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was approved in its second and third readings in the Knesset.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voted in favor of the bill, according to Israeli media. The bill passed its first reading in November.

Critics say the bill’s scope would, in practice, apply almost exclusively to Palestinian prisoners, raising concerns over discriminatory enforcement.

The vote exposed sharp divisions between the ruling coalition and opposition, including Arab parties.

Below is the numbered list of lawmakers and their party affiliations:
