Left-wing Jewish MP Ofer Kassif expelled from Knesset for six months

Israel's parliament has expelled a prominent left-wing Jewish MP over his support for South Africa's case against Israel in the International Court of Justice.

Ofer Kassif, the only Jewish MP for the left-wing Hadash party, will be suspended for six months after accusing Israel of committing war crimes in Gaza.

Through this period his pay will be withheld.
