The Supreme Court has ordered the Knesset to justify its decision to rescind parliamentary rights from MK Hanin Zoabi (Balad). MKs voted to rescind Zoabi's rights after she took part in an attempt to forcibly reach Gaza despite an IDF naval blockade on Hamas. As part of the attempt, passengers on the same ship as Zoabi violently attacked and wounded soldiers.

The Court refused to allow MK Michael Ben-Ari to provide an individual justification for the Knesset's decision, saying that the Knesset as a whole must justify the vote.
