A controversial new law passed in Israel is drawing sharp international criticism, with rights groups warning it could deepen apartheid and fast-track executions of Palestinian detainees.

This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with human rights lawyer Diana Buttu about what the law means in practice, how it could be enforced, and whether it can be challenged under international law.
