Disabled rights activists brawl at the Knesset

A brawl broke out at the Knesset earlier today between groups of disability rights activists who were attending a Labor and Welfare Committee meeting that was discussing increased state benefits.

Knesset security personnel were forced to break up the fight and restrain some of the activists after different groups disagreed about the best possible solution. One man, Arik Harari, tried to stab another person with a pen, and was thrown out of the session.

Outside in the Knesset hallway the fighting continued, with one person trying to attack another with a glass bottle, forcing security officials to again intervene.
