Arab Palestinian Members of Knesset

Adalah: Law demonstrates the political repression that comes with the tyranny of the majority against the minority.

Adalah: The Court's decision is dominated by political calculations more than by legal reasoning; ban on travel to Arab countries is discriminatory and repressive.

Adalah: "The decision shows that the entire case against former MK Barakeh was a political case from the outset."

Mk Zoabi: "Right-wing parties are prosecuting Arab MKs who represent the Palestinian people, and who fight for justice, equality and freedom."

Petitioners: Decision is serious violation of MK Zoabi\'s right to freedom of expression and political participation; Ethics Committee acted without legal authority and with double standards.
