Members of the Knesset Guard forcibly remove a number of anti-government protesters from the building, as lawmakers are due to vote on the “reasonableness” bill.
Video shows ushers picking up and dragging several demonstrators sitting on the floor, moving them away from the plenum, where the commotion could be heard as MKs met inside.
עכשיו בכניסת חברי הקואליציה למליאה-
פעילי מחאה התיישבו על הרצפה ופונו על ידי אנשי משמר הכנסת באגרסיביות רבה pic.twitter.com/wwg2xUa4Yn— Noa Shpigel (@NoaShpigel) July 10, 2023
Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana praises the guards for preventing “a gang of law-breakers from blocking the Knesset plenum.”
Outside, opponents of the judicial overhaul are marching near the Knesset.
