  Otniel Schneller of the centrist Kadima party to the Knesset Ethics Committee, calling on it to revoke the Israeli citizenship of Haneen Zoabi, a Palestinian member of Israel’s Knesset, who was one of the witnesses who testified before the Russel Tribunal on Palestine. Schneller told The Jerusalem Post that she wished to expel Zoabi from the Knesset, as well as Balad Knesset member Jamal Zahalka, a fellow Palestinian parliamentarian, because of a trip they had both made to Turkey, and because of Zoabi’s presence before the RToP. They should go to the Gazan parliament, where they belong, Schneller told The Jerusalem Post, after she had referred to them as a fifth column, enemies of the state acting from within.
