MKs demand from Knesset Speaker: Keep our privacy and stop peeking

The appeal was made after the cellular devices and computers of Knesset members in what was called the "phenomenon of voyeurism for private devices."

An appeal by MKs from Labor and Religious Zionism states that "their personal affairs must remain in their possession only." However, it is not clear how the Speaker of the Knesset will act on the issue.

A Knesset member was documented in the plenum buying shoes on his cell phone, Netanyahu was documented with the contents of the note from his wife Sarah and Nir Barkat's computer was photographed with a document in which he made a list of supporters of the law against him.

The sequence of events that has taken place in the Knesset in recent weeks has probably been too much for some Knesset members who now want to eradicate the "voyeurism phenomenon for their private devices."

MKs Ophir Sofer (Religious Zionism) and Emily Moati (Labor) today turned to Knesset Speaker Miki Levy to limit the possibility of peeking at Knesset members' tables, and to preserve their privacy.

The main phenomenon stems from the fact that Knesset members from the opposition sit for long hours in the Knesset plenum under the stands of journalists and guests of honor, and thus with a slight glance can be exposed to their actions.

"In recent weeks, we have witnessed an obscene phenomenon that is repeated again and again, in which Knesset members are photographed without their knowledge while they are in the Knesset plenum," Sofer and Moati wrote.

"The personal interests of Knesset members and ministers, as well as issues in their field of work that are sometimes related to issues related to national security and classified issues, must remain in their sole possession unless they have chosen to disclose them."

In their address to the Speaker of the Knesset, they claimed that "this situation must not continue" and noted, among other things, the fact that "in plenary sessions, Knesset members and ministers are occasionally forced to deal with their personal affairs and even issues related to their day-to-day work." The phenomenon. "

It is not clear if and how the Speaker of the Knesset can act against the phenomenon in light of the fact that the journalists' place is in the stands above the Knesset members so that they can be exposed to what is happening in the plenum in ceremonies, debates and votes. On the letter officially, other MKs in the plenum - agreed in principle with their request.
