azmi bishara may be resigning from parliament:
Bishara said he had been planning to resign as a parliamentarian because he did not see any further political goals to achieve in that role, but he said: "The investigation made me reconsider [the timing]. In principle I will not reconsider the decision to resign."
(...) Balad holds three of parliament's 120 seats. Its call for Israel to abandon Zionism and merge with Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip to become a "binational" state resonates with many Israeli Arabs who complain of discrimination from the Jewish majority. However, Bishara said the way Israel treats Israeli Arabs "makes the issue of self-rule, raised once again, more strongly as a solution for the Arabs of Israel."
