Dr Basel Ghattas (Arabic: باسل غطاس, Hebrew: באסל גטאס; born 23 March 1956) is an Israeli Arab politician. A member of Balad, he served as a member of the Knesset for Balad and the Joint List from 2015 until 2017. In December 2016, he was stripped of his diplomatic immunity and arrested after he was caught on video providing convicted Palestinian prisoners with cell phones and SIM cards. He served a two-year prison term over the crime.
