Debate begins in the Knesset ahead of a vote on the potential unprecedented ouster of Hadash-Ta’al MK Ofer Cassif, after he gave his backing to the South African charge against Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice in the Hague.
The move needs 90 MKs to pass, and if it does Cassif will almost certainly appeal the decision to the High Court.
Such a vote has never before come to the floor of the Knesset.
