Gaza Prosecutor: 26 Palestinian Prisoners to Be Executed
(Ma'an News-PA) Public prosecutor Ismail Jabir said that 26 execution orders issued against Palestinians convicted of collaborating with Israel or other criminal charges would be carried out in the coming months. Under Palestinian law, all death sentences must be ratified by the PA president before they can be carried out. Despite this, Hamas in Gaza has carried out executions periodically without receiving approval, with an uptick in executions in the past year.
