Knesset bans Zoabi for a week after branding IDF soldiers ‘murderers’

Hanin Zoabi, a firebrand lawmaker from the Joint (Arab) List, is suspended from the Knesset for a week after calling IDF soldiers “murderers.”

Last month, Zoabi was removed from the parliament for making the remark during an Education committee meeting.

In a statement, the Knesset Ethics Committee says Zoabi will be banned for the first week of the parliament’s summer session that will start late April.
