The impeachment law passed in the Knesset more than a year ago allows for the impeachment of any MK who "incites racism or supports armed struggle against the state." The law was hotly criticized by left-wing MKs, who claimed it was undemocratic and targeted only Arab MKs.

A new study comparing impeachment laws in other democratic countries like Israel demonstrates that the law is legitimate and fair and that other democracies have similar laws in place.
