From Basel Ghattas refuses to defend himself before committee
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMK Basel Ghattas says he will not appear before the Knesset House Committee should it convene to rule on a motion to strip him of his parliamentary immunity.
In a letter to committee head MK Yoav Kisch (Likud), Ghattas claims the rushed process in organizing the meeting, and the manner in which the police and law enforcement authorities have handled the case thus far, has been unfair to him.
“In light of my knowledge that the debate that will be held today is nothing but than a political discussion whose outcome is a foregone conclusion, I am informing you that I will not attend the meeting,” he writes.
