Joint List faction condemns ‘anti-democratic’ decision to bar MKs

The Joint (Arab) List issues a statement rejecting and condemning the decision to bar three members from the Knesset for 2-4 months, calling it “anti-democratic and unethical.”

The list says it will continue to demand the release of bodies of Palestinian attackers.

“The Joint (Arab) List notes that the MKs who were banned are paying a political price for an ethical and humanitarian stance,” the statement reads. “The vindictive punishment won’t keep us from continuing to fight against the racist and fascist policies, and for true equality and true democracy, which Netanyahu tries with all his might to destroy.”
