Joint List head reprimanded for branding Dichter a 'murderer'

The Knesset Ethics Committee on Monday decided to reprimand MK Ayman Odeh, head of the Joint List party, after he called MK Avi Dichter (Likud) a “murderer” in a recent television interview.

In the interview in question, which aired earlier this month after the Knesset's Constitution Committee approved a bill that would allow the Knesset to remove members with a majority of 90 votes, Odeh claimed that there are Jewish Knesset members who “murdered Arabs with their own hands”.
