I am telling you this in the simplest, clearest way. This law is a historic law.

First, the claim, the High Court, what will it do? First of all, the fact is,

the High Court has not even issued an interim order against the law.

But if the High Court, say the High Court strikes it down, then I, as a legislator,

am supposed to do nothing,

sit under a blanket, because the High Court will or will not act?

So let us deal with the High Court, with whoever wants to strike this down. The

second thing, another claim, it does not

apply to the Arabs of Israel. That is true. That is true,

it does not apply to the Arabs of Israel. But it applies to 80%.

Eighty percent of the attackers who come from Judea and Samaria.

So it is like the Exodus from Egypt.

All those who say,“ Where are the cucumbers, where are the onions,”

suddenly remember Egypt. If before this it was zero, they did not execute anyone,

and if from now on, after this law, they execute 80%, thank God, that

is very good. And the third claim, which amused me the most,

is that the law is not clear to him. The law is very clear, very explicit,

a mandatory punishment.

True, there are special grounds that, if applied,

can send the terrorist To life imprisonment. What can you do?

You are in the coalition,

you are in some kind of negotiation.

I wanted 100%, others in the coalition wanted 50%, 40%, 30%.

So we ended up with a law of 80%. Really, for once, give some credit, I say to those

sourpusses, and understand that what I am doing here,

for 30 and 40 years no one did.

There were all kinds of parties that talked about a death penalty law,

a death penalty law, no one ever brought it.
