The minister of interior has decided to proceed with Chairman of World
Likud's request, and began taking measures to rescind former MK Azmi
Bishara's citizenship.
Danny Danon's petition against providing pension and other privilages to former MK Bishara was denied by the Supreme Court of Justice, not without signaling to the Israeli legislator (Knesset) that it should deal with this issue directly, and not through the judiciary branch. The court also sent a direct message to the Interior Minister that he should contemplate using his statutory authority, or else it would accept the petition in the future.
Kadima Minister Meir Sheetrit declared Wednesday that the recruitment of members to Kadima is even more corrupt than "in the blackest days of the Likud." Danny Danon, head of World Likud, explained in an interview to Israel National News that when Kadima was formed, its founders presented it as a "clean" party: "Ariel Sharon, Tzipi Livni and Shaul Mofaz said that this would be a new party with new ethics," Danon said. "What we are seeing today is that Kadima is becoming the most corrupt party in Israel."
