Ben-Gvir welcomes Netanyahu's backing for terrorist execution

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Tuesday expressed his support for the execution of the terrorist who murdered Netanel Chkroun in Neveh Tzuf two days earlier.

"The path to victory over terrorism requires...creating strong deterrence. The gallows are an important tool in this struggle, as part of an overall change in approach," said Ben-Gvir, adding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had also expressed support for this.

No terrorist is immune to the consequences of carrying out terror attacks, Netanyahu said on Sunday, following the deadly shooting attack and an attempted car ramming near Jenin.

"Our security forces are currently pursuing the despicable terrorist who carried out the murderous attack in Binyamin," he said. "No terrorist is immune, nor are those who aided them. We will settle the score with all of them: in Gaza, in Lebanon, and in Judea and Samaria."
