Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir handed out sweets at the Knesset on Monday to celebrate lawmakers voting in favour of a bill that would impose the death penalty on “terrorists” - the first of three votes required for it to become law.
Thirty-nine lawmakers voted in favour of the bill, while 16 voted against it.
The bill will now return to the Knesset’s National Security Committee.
