The Knesset Ethics Committee rejected MK Ofer Cassif's complaint against MK Nissim Vatouri regarding a post on X (formerly Twitter) from November 2023, where he called to 'burn Gaza.' The decision stated that 'the Committee examined the statements and believes they are political in nature and clearly reflect the Knesset member's ideology.' It was further noted that 'the Committee believes his statement does not add honor to the Knesset as an institution, particularly given his role as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, but due to the importance of protecting freedom of expression, there are no grounds to determine that he violated ethics rules.'
