Dr. Michael Ben-Ari (Ichud Leumi) has asked the Attorney General to order security forces to investigate just what MK Ahmed Tibi (Ra’am-Ta’al) is doing in Qatar.

In a letter to AG Menachem Mazuz, Ben Ari noted that according to media reports, Tibi is attending the Conference of Arab States in Qatar, a country which has cut off its diplomatic ties with Israel and has warmed up its relationship with Iran and Hamas.

Another Bishara

Ben-Ari wrote: “I am thinking of the case of former MK Azmi Bishara, who abused his status as Knesset Member and conducted visits and meetings with representatives of enemy states – visits in which he gave information and acted against the State of Israel.”

The new MK from Karnei Shomron asked the AG to instruct the police and/or the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) to investigate Tibi’s departure and his actions. “We must not allow a situation in which anyone hurts Israel’s security in the name of democracy and freedom of movement, even if he is a Knesset Member,” Ben-Ari determined.
