Islamic nations, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Indonesia, have strongly condemned Israel's approval of a death penalty law for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
The joint statement from foreign ministers of eight countries warned that the law threatens 'regional stability' and risks exacerbating tensions.
The law, passed by Israel's parliament, allows for the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of 'acts of terrorism' in military courts.
This effectively creates a harsher legal track for Palestinians, who are automatically tried in Israeli military courts.
The move has been criticized by the United Nations and European Union, while the United States supports Israel's 'sovereign right to determine its own laws.'
