PLO official accuses Israel of having a “policy of execution during arrest”
Official PA TV program Palestine This Morning, on a campaign for Palestinian female prisoner Israa Ja'abis, who wounded 1 in a car bombing, hosting PLO Commission of Prisoners' Affairs Administrative Committee member Abd Al-Fattah Doleh
Official PA TV host: "Mr. Abd Al-Fattah, it is also necessary to talk a bit about Israa [Ja'abis'] (i.e., terrorist, wounded 1 when she detonated car bomb) moment of arrest – one of the occupation's injustices. Her sister noted that even while she was being provided with first aid when they ran to extricate her from the car, they cursed her and she was treated very badly while suffering from pain at the time of her extrication. Tell us how there is not even professionalism among the Israeli medical teams in saving sick people."
PLO Commission of Prisoners' Affairs Administrative Committee member Abd Al-Fattah Doleh: "True, they did not want to save her under any circumstances, they wanted to kill her. This is also according to the policy of execution during arrest. A policy they adhere to and implemented with Abd Al-Fattah Al-Sharif (i.e., terrorist shot and killed by Israeli soldier Elor Azaria; see note below). They actually attempted to murder Israa Ja'abis. When Israa did not become a Martyr (Shahida) as a result of the shooting or the explosion of the car she was in (sic., Ja’abis was wounded only by a bomb she herself detonated), they did not take care of her. If the conditions had allowed them to leave her to die, they would have left her. This is a policy that does not excel at-"
Host: "It is torture."
Abd Al-Fattah Doleh: "Torture – and the Israeli ambulance that is at the scenes of deliberate murder and execution does not come to provide help, it comes to kill. We mentioned the video of the execution of Abd Al-Fattah Al-Sharif. There was an ambulance there, and it evacuated the Israeli soldier murderer – who was not wounded – and left Abd Al-Fattah Al-Sharif who was still alive (sic., Azaria was not evacuated from the scene, and Al-Sharif was no longer alive when Azaria left)."
Host: "And also the child Ahmad Manasrah (i.e., terrorist, wounded 2)."
Abd Al-Fattah Doleh: "They left them until they became Martyrs (sic., both Ja'abis and Manasrah are alive and serving prison services). They shot at Norhan Awwad (i.e., terrorist, wounded 1), [who was] a Palestinian girl at her arrest. She grew up in prison. They shot at her, wanted to kill her, and did not give her first aid. Five bullets in her body, and she did not receive serious care – and to this day she suffers from these same wounds. This is a policy of execution, and they recently crowned it by legislating a death penalty law for the Palestinian prisoners (sic., the bill applies to any terrorists, not specifically to Palestinians; see note below). Actually, [there are] dozens of cases of execution at the time of arrest."

The Israeli Parliament voted in favor of a bill facilitating the death penalty for terrorists in a first reading on Jan. 3, 2018. The bill allows military courts to pass a death sentence with a simple majority of judges as opposed to a unanimous decision. It does not specify that it applies to Palestinian terrorists only.
