New Law Passed by Knesset Shows Vengeful, Racist Nature of Zionist Regime: Hamas
In a statement on Tuesday, Hamas warned of "grave consequences" from the new Israeli law establishing a special military court for group members and granting it the power to issue death sentences.
The Israeli regime’s Knesset passed the law Monday evening after approving it in its second and third readings, establishing a special military court for Hamas "elite force" members.
The law "reveals the vengeful and racist nature of the occupation system," Hamas said.
It warned that the legislation represents "a dangerous escalation and a new crime added to the occupation's record of war crimes and systematic violations against our people, adding that the Israeli regime seeks through this law to legalize the killing of prisoners and turn courts into tools of revenge and abuse.
Hamas said the law constitutes "a flagrant violation of all international laws and conventions, foremost among them the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law".
The movement warned that the legislation also reflects Israel's attempts "to evade any future prisoner exchange deals" by explicitly excluding detainees held after the Israeli war on Gaza from any release agreements.

Hamas called on the UN, ICC and international human rights organizations to act urgently to stop the legislation.
The Israeli regime’s army has killed more than 72,000 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. More than 9,600 Palestinian prisoners are held in Israeli prisons.
