Hadash-Ta’al MK and faction leader Ayman Odeh was taken out of the Knesset plenum after he made remarks opposing IDF’s war on Hamas in Gaza on Wednesday.
He began by quoting a statement made on Wednesday by former Health Minister and Israeli ambassador to France, Yael German, on the hunger in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war.
He then said, “I appeal to you to be a real opposition against this government and its crimes in Gaza,” he told the Knesset plenum.

“What the army is a crime, it’s killing, it’s murder, it’s a massacre,” he shouted. His remarks were met with severe protests from other MKs, and he was removed from the Knesset plenum.
Protesters try to tie themselves to Knesset fences
Furthermore, on Wednesday, some 20 protestors against the government arrived at the Knesset, tried to tie themselves to the Knesset fences, and were blocked by security, according to Maariv.
Two additional protestors tied themselves to the car handles of a vehicle that was blocking an emergency exit on the premises.
Police subsequently removed them.
