Supreme Court President Isaac Amit threatens to remove Likud MK Tally Gotliv from the hearing over petitions against the firing of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar after she repeatedly interrupts the beginning of the session.
“MK Gotliv, you are in a courtroom not in the Knesset, please don’t interrupt,” says Amit.
חברת הכנסת @TallyGotliv לא מפסיקה לצרוח. אחרי שהוציאו את האב השכול איציק בונצל כדי שיירגע בחוץ, ואז החזירו אותו pic.twitter.com/QkPzwpGPrT

Gotliv retorts that she has immunity and cannot be removed from the court.
She is seen chewing gum and fiddling with her phone in the front row of a spectator gallery as petitioners begin presenting their cases.
