Arab MK Haneen Zouabi told members of the UN Human Rights Commission investigating the Gaza flotilla incident that IDF troops had planned to kill passengers on the Mavi Marmera ship all along. Zouabi was on the ship, where IDF troops were attacked and nearly lynched during the flotilla incident. “The fact that they used so many soldiers with advanced weapons indicates that they planned to kill those on the ships,” she said.
On Tuesday, Labor MK Eitan Cabel and former MKs Ami Ayalon and Amram Mitzna, as well as political activist Tal Zilberstein, filed a petition against the Knesset's decision to remove her parliamentary immunity. Zouabi has claimed she did not know the passengers on the ship were armed, but a video later surfaced showing her in the presence of armed thugs aboard the ship.
