An Israeli researcher in the constitutional law and criminal law criticized the request of the House of Representatives Committee in his country’s parliament to expel member Ayman Odeh, the leftist “Hadash-Ial” party, due to a statement made by being considered “support for the armed struggle of a terrorist organization against the State of Israel”, in reference to the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation).
Odeh had written a statement on social media, which was martyred by the parliamentary committee in the reasons for the expulsion request, in which he said, “I am happy with the vision of the kidnappers and the prisoners released. After that, the two peoples must be released from the yoke of the occupation because we are all born free.”
However, the demand to exclude a return from the Knesset (Parliament) was severely criticized by the expert of constitutional and criminal law, Mordechai Kermetrir, who was described in an article in the Haaretz newspaper the move as “unjustified”, “foolishness” and “necklace”.
He said that the request to isolate the return of the committee last Monday will now be presented to Knesset In his entirety to vote on him, as it requires to pass the approval of 90 members out of 120, pointing out that the representatives of the “Yis Ateid” party (there is a future), and the national unity alliance – and they are from the center parties in Parliament – support this step.
Al -Fakheri Professor at the Faculty of Law at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, in his criticism of the decision of the House of Representatives Committee, said that even if it is right to protest against the dealings between Israeli and Palestinian prisoners, Return of the law of the law cannot be considered “in support of the armed struggle of a terrorist organization.”
Even if the “accusation” list expanded against a return to include what he said last month that “Gaza won, and Gaza will win,” the author of the article believes that this does not rise to the level required to claim that he supports the armed struggle.
Only “twisted minds” is the one that sees that all the residents of Gaza – including newborns and children, and perhaps even embryos within the wombs of their mothers – are supporters of Hamas, according to the legal expert.
The most worse is that the person responsible for the events of October 7, 2023, who determined the goal of the war on Gaza by achieving “complete victory” and adopting the “evil vision” to empty the Palestinian sector of its residents, was the one who enabled Gaza to win, in the words of Kermentser, directing the fingers of the accusation to the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin NetanyahuThe accused by the International Criminal Court of war crimes.
Even the Knesset members were not spared the criticism of the professor of constitutional law, who described their comments in public deliberations as being racist, and supported Genocide Ethnic cleansing, claiming that they strip the Israelis of their humanity towards the Palestinians.
He considered that the exclusion of a return from Parliament is not just an “another step” in the series of procedures for violating the “Arab minority” in Israel, but rather an indication that warns of restricting Arab citizens in everything related to the upcoming elections, including preventing the participation of Arab parties in any Government coalition in the future.
He attributed this to what he called the “foolishness” of the opposition inside the Knesset, which took a firm stance, supporting the ruling coalition in the removal measures, although it may pay the price of its support in the future if it is estimated that its government coalition is estimated.
Kurniter: The clear conclusion that I concluded is that there is no justification for the end of the parliamentary return mandate, and that is nothing more than a political persecution of the Arab minority in Israel.
He said that the clear conclusion he concluded is that there is no justification for ending the parliamentary return mandate, describing that it is nothing more than a political persecution of the Arab minority in Israel.
And in his appreciation that if the Knesset is overthrown, it will be “horse and disgrace” to Parliament and on the parliament Israel It itself, because such a step will be explained in Arab society as a dangerous provocation, if not the declaration of a real war.
He added that the issue of overthrowing a return requires a reconsideration of the basic concepts of the Israeli democratic system, because the constitution that is supposed to protect citizens from the arbitrariness of the government, can – according to traditional democratic thought – become a sword over the rights in Israel.
Moreover, based on these prevailing concepts, a major parliamentary majority – in the opinion of Kurmentrire – can support “dictatorship” moves and stand strongly behind the militant government, and officials may misuse the authorities authorized to them.
