  On Monday, 11 May, Israel’s parliament approved legislation establishing a special tribunal with the authority to impose the death penalty on Palestinians who are linked to taking part in the  7 October 2023 resistance attack that triggered the war in Gaza. The bill passed by 93 votes to zero in the 120-seat Knesset on Monday, with the remaining 27 lawmakers either absent or choosing to abstain. The near-unanimous vote signals broad political consensus for the measure within the Israeli legislature. The new tribunal is separate from a law passed in March that already allows the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis, a measure that drew sharp condemnation from the international community and human rights organisations, who called it discriminatory and inhumane.  Under the new legislation, a panel of judges can hand down the death sentence by majority vote. Proceedings must be held in a Jerusalem courtroom and livestreamed publicly.

  Fear and uncertainty continue to grip the families of eight Egyptian sailors who were abducted after an oil tanker was hijacked off the Yemeni coast and forced toward Somali waters on 2 May, creating a threat to maritime security and the safety of international trade routes. The sailors, identified by relatives, include engineers, mechanics, officers, and support staff from different parts of Egypt who left their home country to seek work at sea. The sailors were aboard the oil tanker M/T Eureka, which was reportedly intercepted by armed pirates while traveling from the UAE to Yemen. According to relatives, the crew has been held hostage for days after the vessel was diverted toward Somalia’s Puntland region. Yet, for the families of the sailors waiting back home in Egypt, phone calls and messages have turned into a stream of threats from Somali pirates. “We have been kidnapped. There is no food or water, and we are surrounded by armed men. Please help spread awareness about our situation on social media,” one of the sailors said in a WhatsApp message. Ahmed Radi, whose brother is among the kidnapped crew members, saidContinue reading "Families of Egyptian Sailors Plead for Help After Tanker Hijacking Near Somalia"
