Tourism Minister Yariv Levin says Arab MKs seeking United Nations condemnation of Israel for passing the controversial nation-state law last month should be tried for treason.

Yesterday, Hadashot news reported that lawmakers from the Joint (Arab) List, Palestinian ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour, and other senior Palestinian officials are attempting to convince the UN to advance a resolution next month that likens the quasi-constitutional legislation to apartheid.

“In any other normal country there’s one word for that: treason,” Levin tells Army Radio in an interview. “I hope the justice system puts them on trial.”
