An attempt to expel far-left Israeli lawmaker Ofer Cassif for supporting South Africa's charge in the International Court of Justice that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza narrowly failed in the Knesset.

In a recent Zoom call, Jewish Knesset member Ofer Cassif and Palestinian writer Iyad El-Baghdadi discussed Israel's invasion of Gaza.
