Palestinian shops and institutions in the West Bank protested against a new Israeli law allowing the execution of Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks, while Israelis convicted of similar crimes do not face the same penalty. The law, passed by the Knesset, has led to widespread closures in cities like Hebron, Ramallah, and Nablus, following a call for a general strike by Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party. Critics describe the law as racist and out of touch with humanity, highlighting the systemic inequality in the legal treatment of Palestinians.
