Labor MK Raleb Majadele has recently received a death threat telling him he has 180 days to live. The letter also stated that after his death his body will be dumped at Ramat Hovav and be eaten by vultures.

A letter addressed to Majadele at his Knesset office stated that a Pulsa Dinura (Kabbalistic death curse) had been cast upon him on May 1 for his "Anti-Jewish and anti-Zionist activity."

It read: "Your death will be very cruel and agonizing."

"This curse cannot be reversed, note past cases. Your supporters in terror states will find you a private clinic for your last days. This is the right time for you to draw up a will,"

MK Majadele found the matter amusing but nevertheless filed a complaint with the Knesset officer.

Sources close to the MK said that he had recently declared in an interveiw that east Jerusalem was the capital of Palestine and that Islam's holy sites in Jerusalem must be handed over to the Palestinians. They noted the letter may be linked to these statements.

The Knesset's spokesman said that the matter has been turned over to the police.
