The Shor Party intends to introduce a bill which aims to amend the Constitution in order to nullify parliamentary immunity. 

In a press briefing, MP Marina Tauber said that the idea behind the project is that MPs, like all other citizens, should be subject to any motivated legal procedure and investigation.

"The amendment of article 70 of the Constitution and of other laws is required for immunity annulment. Thus, the bill needs the support of the parliamentary majority” said Marina Tauber.

The MP said that the revision of the Constitution can be initiated by at least one third of the parliament members. According to procedure, the Parliament has the right to adopt a law on the modification of the Constitution after at least 6 months from the date of the bill's introduction. The bill requires the vote of two thirds of the deputies in order to be signed into law.

Marina Tauber added that this project is a confirmation that "Shor Party members are not afraid of an investigation and that they have no reason to hide behind the immunity".

"We count on the fact that all political and ideological differences will be put aside and Parliament will adopt this law. The deputy must work for voters, for citizens, not to hide behind parliamentary immunity nor behind the diplomatic passport nor to wave the parliamentary ID card in front of police officers", said Marina Tauber.

Asked if the internationally wanted party president, Ilan Shor, has signed the bill, Marina Tauber avoided to answer.
