"The Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved Sunday a bill that would cause the State to cease payment of salary, pension and other benefits to a Knesset member or former MK who is wanted for a serious offense but does not show up for questioning. The law has been dubbed the 'Bishara Law' because it is seen as primarily intended to stop the flow of shekels to former MK Azmi Bishara.
Bishara left Israel in April 2007 and resigned from the Knesset. It then turned out that he had been under a police and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) investigation, for aiding Hizbullah during the Second Lebanon War. A loophole in the law has enabled him to continue to collect his pension despite his apparent involvement in treasonous activity. It is this loophole that the law seeks to fill."
