It has been a month since Israeli politician Ofer Cassif, from the left-wing Hadash Party, was suspended from the Israeli parliament. The reason? Criticising Israel's genocide in Gaza. "There was no surprise, I wasn't surprised at all," Cassif told °®Âþµº. "Still, I think it's outrageous, it's unlawful." The politician is no longer allowed to attend the Knesset, where laws are passed, debates and meetings are held, and can only enter the parliament to vote. "I must tell the truth. I cannot avoid it. What's going on in Gaza is a sheer case of genocide. We cannot ignore that," Cassif says.
