Israeli police broke up a protest outside parliament in Jerusalem as demonstrators voiced anger over a new law allowing the execution of Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks.

Israeli police dispersed protesters gathered outside the Knesset in Jerusalem following the approval of a new death penalty law by lawmakers.

The legislation allows for the execution of Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks classified as terrorism.

Footage shows officers arresting demonstrators and moving crowds back as people chant and hold signs, including messages such as “Palestinian lives matter.”

Some protesters displayed symbolic nooses during the demonstration.

The law has prompted reactions from critics, who have raised concerns about its legal implications and application.
