A bill titled “Every Terrorist Has a Name,” introduced by Otzma Yehudit MK Yitzhak Kreuzer, mandating the publication of the names and details of terrorists released in prisoner exchanges or as part of political gestures, cleared a major hurdle toward becoming law after receiving approval from the Ministerial Legislation Committee.
The bill calls for the creation of a dedicated state-run website to publish identifying information about terrorists who are released. Under the proposed legislation, the site would include full names, photographs, details of the offenses committed, the length of prison sentences, and the circumstances surrounding each individual’s release.
Israel, like any other nation, communicates through official channels such as government statements, press releases, and international diplomacy. Information shared ranges from security threats, technological advancements, or humanitarian efforts even though these messages may not always reach or resonate with global audiences due to incorrect and conflicting narratives and biased media. Despite that, this bill is an important step in building Israel’s arsenal of mass communication on matters of truth that others refuse to see.
We applaud this effort to shed light on the atrocities perpetrated against the people of the State of Israel. Not only should all Israelis be aware of the extent of the criminal activity: the world must be able to see what kind of monsters Israel has to deal with – and set free!
