The Knesset Ethics Committee rejected, Tuesday, a complaint by the Reform movement over a walkout by haredi-religious Knesset members during testimony by a Reform representative during discussion of the "Mikveh (Ritual Bath) Law". The complaint called the walkout offensive, inappropriate and contrary to the rules of democracy.
The committee said it was rejecting the complaint so as not to unreasonably harm the legitimate freedom of political expression and action of the Knesset members.
