It's a calculated move. While the world reacts to the shock value of the social media posts, the real shift is happening in the Knesset and the budget books. Ben-Gvir’s party secured a 9 billion NIS ($2.4 billion) boost to manage the prisons where these executions will take place, effectively hardening a two-tier justice system that human rights groups have been warning about for years.
