A new bill could finally see MKs linked with terrorism banned from the Knesset, Channel 10 reports Monday – in a bill being dubbed “Zoabi’s Law.” 

According to the proposal, submitted by MK David Rotem (Yisrael Beytenu), MKs would gain the power to request the dismissal of another MK based on allegations of involvement with terror groups or incitement – by proposing a dismissal by majority vote. 

The law is being perceived as being directed specifically at Balad MK Hanin Zoabi, who has openly supported Hamas on multiple occasions.  

Calls to convict Zoabi over her frequent outbursts of incitement and pro-Hamas activity have been resurrected after a recent scandal regarding ex-MK Azmi Bishara, the traitorous founder of her party who was exiled from Israel after he was found to be working with Hezbollah terrorists in 2007.

Zoabi has been linked to Hamas on multiple occasions, and is infamous for provocative speeches, including one in which she said that Israel has “no right to a normal life” and a later address claiming that “the Israeli occupation” was behind the murder of Israelis in Bulgaria.

More recently, Zoabi wrote an article encouraging Hamas on the terror group’s website, and was briefly handcuffed during violent pro-Palestinian protests in Haifa.  

Zoabi has been ejected from the Knesset before. Before the last elections, the Central Elections Committee banned Zoabi, under a clause requiring candidates and parties not to work against Israel’s character as a Jewish, democratic state. However, the Supreme Court later overturned the decision and allowed Zoabi to run.

This time, those aspirations may be actualized, however – as the bill is due to be brought for a preliminary reading to the Knesset plenum on Wednesday. 

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has allegedly expressed support for the proposal, with a few amendments. One of them is changing the definition of “majority” from 61 MKs to 70. 

MKs from several parties have also expressed support for the bill, including Likud, Yisrael Beytenu, and Jewish Home. 

In addition, a poll last month revealed that some 85% of Israelis would prefer to see Zoabi booted from the Knesset.
