The Knesset plenum approved in preliminary reading a bill proposed by MKs Simcha Rothman and Yulia Malinovsky to prosecute terrorists who participated in the October 7 massacre. 39 Knesset members supported the proposal, with one opposing. The bill aims to regulate prosecution procedures for those involved in acts of murder, rape, looting and kidnapping committed during the Hamas attack, which were defined as 'actions intended to destroy the Jewish people and harm Israel as their nation-state.'
