About Said Nafa

Born 1953. Said Nafa is an Israeli politician and author.

Said Nafa (; , also Said Naffaa, born 1 April 1953) is an Israeli Arab politician and lawyer. A Druze citizen of Israel, he served as a member of the Knesset for Balad between 2007 and 2013. Although Balad won only three seats in the election, he entered the Knesset on 24 April 2007 as a replacement for party leader Azmi Bishara, who had resigned. He was placed second on the party's list for the 2009 elections, and retained his seat as the party won three mandates.

In the end of February 2012, Nafa was a guest of honor in a rally supporting Bashar al-Assad and his government in Syria. He stated that he came to support the administration and to condemn the foreign coalition that was formed to prevent Assad's reform attempts. He also said that the western coalition made up the genocide and is responsible for the death of Syrian children, by supplying weapons to the gangs. According to Israeli prosecutors, Nafa also met with Talal Naji, the Secretary-General of the PFLP-GC while in Syria.

In December 2011, Nafa was indicted for illegally entering an enemy state and contacting a foreign agent.

Nafa did not contest the 2013 elections and subsequently lost his Knesset seat.

On April 6, 2014, Nafa was convicted of illegally entering an enemy state and on one count of contact with a foreign agent. He was acquitted of a second count of contacting a foreign agent. On September 4, 2014, he was sentenced to one year in prison.

Nafa lives in Beit Jann and is married with nine children.
