The storm surrounding an exposé aired on Channel 14’s is reaching the Knesset: After the bombshell investigation revealed that current Ra’am chairman and sitting Member of Knesset Mansour Abbas participated in a 2018 conference in Turkey attended by senior officials from the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror organizations, Channel 14 reported Tuesday evening that an urgent hearing on the matter will be held next Monday at 12:00 p.m. by the National Security Committee.
The notice for the hearing, to be led by committee chairman MK Zvika Fogel, states it concerns an “urgent discussion following Channel 14’s exposé: suspicion of meeting with a foreign agent between MK Mansour Abbas and Hamas leadership abroad.” The list of invitees to the hearing includes the Prime Minister’s Office, the Shin Bet, the National Security Ministry, Israel Police, and others.
As a reminder, the investigation by the “Forum for Choosing Life,” which was revealed on Channel 14 News, presented documentation clearly indicating that Mansour Abbas participated in the Istanbul conference in 2018, where—as shown in the investigation—senior figures from the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror organizations also participated.
