The Knesset Officer has revoked the credentials of the parliamentary aide of MK (Ra’am-Ta’al) Masood Ganim after the former he was heard stating “let’s go slaughter 50 Jews”.

The Knesset Officer updated Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein of his decision and actions. The aide was instructed to leave Knesset immediately pending the outcome of the investigation into the matter.

When speaking to the media Ganim stated his aide apologized for the remarks, which he stated may have been in poor taste but definitely stated in jest. He added the aide has been at his side in Knesset for 12 years and anyone who knows him can attest to the fact that he would never seriously make such a statement for that is not the person he is.
