Christian Member of Knesset Resigns after Bargain over Handing Phones to Palestinian Prisoners

A member of Knesset who admitted to secretly handing mobile phones to Palestinian prisoners resigned on Sunday, a statement said. Basel Ghattas had said he would step down after striking a deal with prosecutors that saw him plead guilty to handing phones and SIM cards to Palestinian detainees in return for a reduced sentence, the Daily Star reported. “I decided to accept after consultation with my lawyers and taking into account my personal and family situation,” he said. Ghattas, who could have faced up to 10 years in prison, applied instead for a two-year term. Israeli media have reported that 12 mobile phones were found on two separate prisoners in searches after Ghattas visited the high security Ketziot prison in December. The 60-year-old Christian allegedly used his parliamentary immunity to avoid being searched. Israel Apartheid Report
