Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday called for the execution of a Palestinian who stabbed to death three Israelis last week as tensions rose over new security measures at a Jerusalem holy site.
"The death penalty for terrorists –- it's time to implement it in severe cases," he said while speaking with family members of the victims, a video of which was posted on Netanyahu's Twitter account.
"It's anchored in the law. You need the judges to rule unanimously on it, but if you want to know the government's position and my position as prime minister –- in a case like this, of a base murderer like this -– he should be executed. He should simply not smile anymore."
