Israel passed a law to allow for the death penalty and public trials of those related to October 7.

Hisham al-Wahd, the brother of missing journalist Haitham al-Wahd, told the BBC: “This law is cruel, it is a law that tries to take away the hope that you are living under.” “We, as the families of the prisoners and the families of the disappeared, call on governments and public opinion – international, Arab and Islamic – to take action to stop such a law and such a case.”
