Sharjah24-WAM: The European Commission has criticised Israel following the passage of a controversial bill expanding the use of the death penalty.

Speaking on Tuesday, Commission spokesperson Anouar El Anouni said the move represented “a negative development” in relation to Israel’s human rights obligations.

The legislation, approved by the Israeli parliament, extends capital punishment to cases involving attacks that result in the deaths of Israeli citizens.
