Some of Israel’s far-right ministers, including the defence minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, want to bring in the death penalty as a possible sentence for captured Hamas militants. The families said that even talk of doing so might endanger the lives of their relatives. Ben-Gvir’s proposal has moved slowly in parliament while Israel’s justice ministry said officials were considering different procedures for putting suspected militants on trial. The row underlines the deep divisions in Israel over how to deal with the hostage crisis.
