The Knesset is set to vote on whether to expel far-left lawmaker Ofer Cassif over his support for the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, Al Jazeera reports.

The motion to impeach Cassif will now require the support of 90 members of parliament, and though it’s backed by far-right members of the Knesset, it is less certain whether it would receive the support of centrist politicians that would likely be necessary for it to pass.

Even if passed, Israel’s High Court of Justice is likely to overturn the motion due to its questionable legal standing.
