Following Joint List MK Ofer Cassif's call on Israelis to unite in a "general uprising against a regime bent on burying us all under a murderous dictatorship," Yamina MK Ofir Sofer filed a petition with the Knesset Ethics Committee against the List's sole Jewish representative.
Sofer said the MK's open call for an uprising against Israel's democratically-elected government was grounds for charges of treason carrying a five-year prison sentence.
