Joint List accuses gov’t of Gaza war crimes
In response to the decision of the Knesset Ethics Committee to strongly censure MK Basel Ghattas over his participation in a recent flotilla to Gaza, the Joint List accuses the Netanyahu government of committing “war crimes” and calls for the prime minister to be “punished” for continuing the blockade on the Hamas-controlled Strip.
The Gaza-bound flotilla was intercepted at the end of June, long before reaching the coastal territory, and escorted by the Navy to Ashdod port. Its non-Israeli participants were deported the following day.
