Israel’s Knesset yesterday passed a law that allows the expulsion of members accused of racial incitement, which critics say is intended to target opposition Arab MPs.
The bill, supported by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, allows parliament to vote to sack a member “who incites racism or supports armed struggle against the state of Israel”.
The law, passed after a heated debate with 62 votes in favour, 47 against and several members absent, will require 90 of the Knesset’s 120 members to approve an expulsion.
