The Israeli energy minister on Tuesday called for the establishment of a special military court to impose try and impose death penalty on those involved in the Oct. 7 offensive in Israel.
Yisrael Katz said he reached out to Justice Minister Yariv Levin to apply Israel's law for prosecuting Nazis and their collaborators on members of Hamas.
In a letter to Levin, Katz said the Hamas attack's comparison to Nazi war crimes is not far-fetched, and the attacks required a firm response. He said the special court will allow the possibility of imposing death penalty among other things.
Currently, Israeli law only allows capital punishment under the Nazi law and for treason.
