Labor MK rejects party’s right to suspend him over harassment claims

A Labor lawmaker who was temporarily suspended yesterday by the party leader amid allegations of sexual harassment, says that the measure has no legal basis.

MK Eitan Broshi’s defiance comes amid mounting calls from members of his own parliamentary faction that he step down in light of a television news report of accusations that he sexually harassed a colleague 15 years ago in an elevator.

He also recently touched a female MK from his party inappropriately, and then apologized for his action.
