MK Haneen Zoabi, previously ejected from the Knesset earlier, soon may become a member of jail.

 

Pro-Hamas Knesset Member Haneen Zoabi got a slap on the end of fingertip by being fined $130 (500 shekels) in a plea bargain for “insulting a public servant.”

Original charges of incitement were dropped against Zoabi, whose parliamentary immunity has saved her from being charged with incitement almost every time she opens her mouth in the Knesset, with the questionable exception of when she yawns.

Zoabi called Arab policemen “traitors” last year when they arrested Arabs for disturbing the peace during a hearing on the remand of Arab demonstrators following the brutal murder of Mohammed abu-Khdeir in Jerusalem.

Zoabi’s lawyers reached an agreement with state prosecutors, whereby she wrote an apology for her remarks while denying that she incited.

She said that alleged “harsh detentions” and attempts to bar her from running in the Knees caused her “emotional agitation,” which seems to be her normal state.
