    TEHRAN – On December 8, 2024, Syria entered a new phase when Damascus fell, and the Ba'ath Party’s long rule ended. Bashar al-Assad departed for Russia, where he was granted asylum.

Passed on Monday by a vote of 39 to 16, the bill targets Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis, while excluding Jewish Israelis who kill Palestinians — exposing its racist design. Supporters frame it as a deterrent against terrorism, but its true aim is to normalize execution as a tool of repression. Cloaked in the language of “deterrence” and “security,” it embeds state violence into the legal code.
