Historic Justice: Israel Approves Special Oct. 7 Tribunal

The Knesset voted overwhelmingly to establish a special military tribunal to prosecute Hamas terrorists involved in the October 7 massacre, including charges of genocide that could carry the death penalty.

The bipartisan law would create a dedicated court to try roughly 300 terrorists captured inside Israel after the attack, with proceedings expected to be public and broadcast online.

Lawmakers described the future proceedings as “the trials of the modern-day Nazis,” as Israel seeks justice for the murder, rape, torture, and kidnapping carried out during the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
