Far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir says the building will feature special rooms for victims' families to observe the executions. This construction comes after Israeli politicians approved legislation earlier this year making capital punishment mandatory for Palestinians found guilty of terrorism by military tribunals. These new execution rules do not apply to Israeli citizens accused of similar extremist violence.
