The Knesset Ethics Committee rejected Knesset lawmaker Ofer Cassif's complaint against lawmaker Nissim Vatori regarding his December 2023 statement on Knesset Channel calling to "burn Gaza." The decision stated that "the committee examined the statements and believes they are political in nature and clearly reflect the member's ideology." The committee also noted that "while his statement does not add dignity to the Knesset as an institution, particularly given his role as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, due to the importance of protecting freedom of expression, there are no grounds to determine that he violated ethics rules."
