Israeli politicians could soon face a fine for using bad language.
The Knesset Ethics committee is set to consider a proposal to punish members who swear or speak insultingly to their colleagues by charging them up to 34,000 shekels (£5,700).
The amount is equal to an entire month’s salary.
At present Knesset members can only be fined for prolonged lapses in attendance or for taking on outside work.
