Stephen Sackur interviews Haneen Zoabi. She was the first woman to be elected on an Arab party's list to the Parliament of Israel, the Knesset. Recently though she angered many of her fellow MKs for taking part in the flotilla convoy to Gaza on which nine persons were killed in May.
Haneen condemns what she sees as Israel’s 'crimes' against Palestinians and 'racist' policies. Recently, the Knesset has voted to revoke her diplomatic privileges. Has Haneen Zoabi become the revealing symbol of rising tensions between the Jewish majority and the Arab minority in Israel?
