MKs Ahmad Tibi and Waleed Taha (Hadash-Ta'al) will be ineligible to participate in the Knesset vote on granting immunity to MK Tally Gotliv, according to a report by journalist Michael Shemesh. The two Arab lawmakers exceeded the permitted number of absences from committee deliberations, disqualifying them from the vote.
Journalist Michael Shemesh reported that Arab MKs Ahmad Tibi and Waleed Taha have been disqualified from voting on the immunity request of MK Tally Gotliv (Likud) due to excessive absences from committee discussions. The development affects the balance of power in the Knesset House Committee, where coalition lawmakers have pushed for Gotliv's immunity since the Attorney General filed a criminal indictment against her last year. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the committee resumed deliberations on Monday after an adjournment last week following sharp confrontations with the Attorney General. The exclusion of two opposition MKs may ease the path for the committee to approve Gotliv's immunity.
