PM unveils new bill to suspend MKs for ‘unseemly behavior’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePM Netanyahu announces new planned legislation that would allow MKs to be suspended from the Knesset for what he calls in a Twitter post “unseemly behavior.”
The legislation requires 90 MKs, three quarters of the 120-member house, to vote in favor of the suspension.
It is unclear how long such a suspension would be in effect or who would replace the suspended MK during that period.
The proposed bill comes after three Arab MKs were heavily criticized for meeting last week with the families of terrorists killed while carrying out attacks on Israelis.
