“In his participation in the Durban II Conference, which the State of Israel is making every effort to prevent participation in by states of the world, the abovementioned filled the seah” (a Biblical measure of grain), Nachi Eyal, the General Director of the Legal Forum, told Rivlin.
Eyal added that “[w]ith his actions and by his giving legitimacy to the Conference from the part of a member of the Israeli parliament, MK Zahalka contributed to those who seek to turn the State of Israel and the Knesset into the lepers of the international arena.”
Eyal said that this violates a Member of Knesset’s responsibilities. “MK Zahalka’s behavior is not befitting that of a Member of Knesset. A Member of Knesset is supposed to work for the benefit of the State and not to assist those who seek to harm it and display it as a disgusting outcast in the international arena.”
Eyal closed the letter asking that Rivlin take action. “The Knesset and its Chairperson should not remain silently dumbstruck in light of his grievous actions. . . .As speaker of the Knesset, it is your obligation to warn the abovementioned about the severity of his actions and to work in every way in order to stop his participation in that place by clarifying that this issue is one of severe harm to the State."
