Knesset Suspends Three Israeli-Arab Lawmakers Over Visits With Families of Slain Terrorists
The Knesset Ethics Committee suspended three Arab lawmakers on Monday, following a public uproar over their meeting with the families of slain Palestinian terrorists. MKs Haneen Zoabi and Basel Ghattas were suspended for four months, and MK Jamal Zahalka was suspended for two months. All the lawmakers are from the Joint Arab List’s Balad faction. The lawmakers will be barred from attending the Knesset plenum the end of the winter session, but will still be able to vote.
