Labor MK Yossi Katz, Chairman of the Knesset Interior Committee, insists on including Arab MK Taleb a-Sana on the committee to prepare a new GSS bill. His decision caused a major disruption during the session today, and led to an abrupt end of the meeting. MK Benny Elon submitted an appeal, saying that a-Sana is not loyal to the State and is therefore disqualified from dealing with a GSS bill. The Arab MKs said that this was racism, and MK Barakeh said, \"Why don\'t you just pass a law that will remove us from the Knesset and get it over with?\" MK Ze\'ev Boim said, \"Don’t worry, we\'re doing that.\"
The same Committee will deal later today with a request to remove the Parliamentary immunity of MK Azmi Bishara, following his anti-Israel speech in Damascus two days ago. Bishara said he is not afraid to sit in jail. \"They [the Israelis] forced us to take their citizenship, and now they want to take it away from us,\" he said.
