The Knesset’s Ethics Committee responded to harsh statements made by MK Oren Hazan (Likud) who said on Tuesday that “This is a political committee…whose decisions are made ahead of time by the Knesset Speaker and not by facts.”
“The committee denies the unprecedented statements made by MK Oren Hazan, as quoted in the media, against the committee and its members. The Ethics Committee, comprised of an equal amount of members of coalition and opposition members, has always acted completely independently and its decisions are made fairly…not politically.”
