		Members of the Knesset have broad legal immunities regarding search, detention, free movement, and prosecution of acts relating to their duties.
		Members are also expected to avoid improper use of their immunities, conflicts of interest, etc., and transgressions may be dealt with by the Knesset Ethics Committee.
		Requests to disqualify Arab Knesset members on these grounds were denied by the Israeli High Court of Appeals, and the pettitioners view this as lack of symmetry in application of the law to Kach and Arab parties, favouring the latter.

		In 1973, Sharon was elected as a member of the Likud when he emerged as an Israeli war hero following the 1967 Six-Day War and in the aftermath of the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
		The rise of the Likud represented a maturing phase in the history of Israeli democracy, as power was peacefully transferred from an incumbent political party to the opposition.
		The final stroke was the unexpected ousting of Sharon's ally Shimon Peres, as leader of the Labor party by the election of left-wing Histadrut union leader Amir Peretz in an internal Labor party ballot on November 8 2005.

		What made the alleged extortion and funding attempts possible was the Likud’s decision to switch from nationwide primaries back to a system in which the Central Committee chooses the party’s Knesset list.
		The fact that both Likud and Labor are under investigation could help smaller parties in the Labor’s left-center bloc, such as Shinui and Meretz, which have made cleaner politics part of their campaign platforms.
		Likud will attack Labor over the associations that helped finance Ehud Barak’s victorious prime ministerial campaign in 1999, and which were subsequently the subject of a wide-ranging police investigation.

		I dare say there is not a single member of the Knesset that does not know that PR, especially with a low electoral threshold, undermines national unity and therefore Israel’s survival.
