"Committee debates suspending former MK's pension benefits.

Former MK Dr. Azmi Bishara (Balad) was reported on Sunday to have arrived Saturday night in Libya for a meeting with Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

While Bishara was reportedly in Libya, the Knesset’s Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved a bill on Sunday that would suspend his government pension benefits."

"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."

The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism."
