The Zionist Union party on Wednesday decided to suspend MK Robert Tiviaev from his parliamentary activity after he was not present in the Knesset during a vote.
Tiviaev stood outside the plenum when Zionist Union MK Itzik Shmuli's bill to equalize old-age pensions to the minimum wage came up for a vote. In his defense Tiviaev claimed on his Twitter account that he was at an important meeting during the vote.
