The Knesset's Ethics Committee decided to remove Hadash-Ta'al party lawmaker Ofer Cassif from plenary meetings and Knesset committee meetings for a period of six months. The committee also decided that his salary will be suspended for two weeks during the period of his suspension, which will take effect Tuesday. These are severe sanctions, and one of the severe punishments imposed by the committee in recent years. The punishments come after Cassif implicitly, and sometimes explicitly, accused the IDF of war crimes including genocide.
