Haneen Zoabi

Zoabi will get a pre-indictment hearing to try to convince Mandelblit of her innocence before he makes a final decision.

Zoabi has long been one of the Knesset’s most controversial members, since first being elected to the legislature in 2009.

“The only undemocratic thing here is that there is a terrorist sitting in the Knesset and acting against IDF soldiers,” Liberman wrote.

The law passed in its final reading by a vote of 87 to 15, with the support of MKs from every faction, except for Meretz and the Joint List.

To begin the impeachment process, 70 signatures are necessary, 10 of which must come from the opposition.

The law applies to those who have been sentenced to at least 7 years in prison

Just last month the Knesset Ethics Committee slapped a one-week ban on Zoabi for calling IDF soldiers murderers.

Zoabi blasted American left-wing, progressive Jews in the interview for not completely giving up their support for Israel.

A final vote would be held in the plenum and could only pass with the approval of 90 MKs.

Will MK Haneen Zoabi become the first MK to be impeached under the new Impeachment Law?

When an MK is suspended from the Knesset, he or she may vote in the plenum, but cannot participate in any other legislative activity.
