Amira, you've lived in the West Bank for almost 30 years.

Could you start by explaining to us what this new death penalty law is?

And why are some experts saying it'll be used against Palestinians, but not Israelis who are convicted of similar crimes?

So how would these executions be carried out?

This law was passed through the Israeli Knesset by the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ruling coalition.

How are they justifying the law and how much support for it is there in wider Israeli society?

And Amira, I know that this issue of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails is also at the core of Palestinian national identity.

One in five Palestinians has been inside an Israeli jail at one time or another.

So how is this law being received across the West Bank?

Or is it a case that Palestinians right now,

are focused on much more immediate problems, settler violence and land grabs, that the law hasn't registered so much.

Coming up, as the world focuses on Iran, has Gaza and the West Bank been forgotten?

Amira, even before the war in Gaza started after October 7, Israeli settlements had been expanding.

And this year, we also had the Israeli government introduce some new laws, which activists say have strengthened Israel's legal control over the West Bank and weakened the Palestinian Authority.

And they've also made it easier for Israeli settlers to buy land.

Israel's cabinet on Sunday voted in favor of beginning a process of land registration for the first time since 1967.

So what's happening there now?

All of the same and more than that.

So, Amira, we know that the world's now focused on Iran.

So do you see anything changing on the ground in the West Bank?
