The new law is two months old, hasn't been applied and whether it is more than a populist move by Ben Gvir and will ever be applied remains to be seen, all the more since Israel has had a death penalty since its founding but executed only two people since then, and none since 1962, including at the peaks of Palestinian terror attacks. Additionally, Israel has yet to have an election suspected of irregularities, unlike Hungary, and there's still universal suffrage for all citizens and strong, active opposition movement.
