Report: Ghattas to give up his immunity

MK Basel Ghattas (Joint List) is expected to give up his parliamentary immunity of his own accord, even before a Knesset discussion on the matter, Channel 2 News reported on Wednesday evening.

The Knesset House Committee, headed by MK Yoav Kisch of the Likud, approved on Wednesday the request of the Attorney General to remove Ghattas's immunity, facilitating his arrest on charges of smuggling cellular phones to security prisoners.
