Israeli Lawmaker Forcibly Removed from Knesset After Gaza Criticism

Tensions in the Israeli Knesset reached a boiling point on Wednesday when Arab-Israeli opposition lawmaker Ayman Odeh was forcibly removed from the parliament floor. Odeh's speech, a scathing critique of the government's handling of the Gaza conflict, sparked a heated debate that quickly escalated into a physical altercation. "You don't know how weak I see you, you are weak people. After a year and a half of a war in which you killed 19,000 children, 53,000 residents... You destroyed all the universities and hospitals, and for you there is no political victory. That's why you're going crazy," Odeh shouted, his voice filled with anger and frustration. The incident highlights the deep divisions within Israeli society over the ongoing conflict and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The video footage clearly shows the chaotic scene as security personnel intervened to remove Odeh from the chamber, amidst shouting and pushing from other parliamentarians. The event serves as a stark reminder of the volatile political climate in Israel.
