Husband of Knesset speaker Ohana caught on video making obscene hand gesture at hostage deal protesters

The husband of Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana was caught on camera earlier this week making an obscene hand gesture at protesters calling for the release of the remaining Gaza hostages, video footage shows.

The footage, taken on Wednesday and published earlier this morning, shows Ohana’s husband Alon Hadad waving a Likud flag on the balcony of their apartment and giving the middle finger to the protesters below as they chant the names of the 59 hostages who have yet to be released from Hamas captivity.

In response to the published video, Ohana’s office says that Hadad’s hand gesture was “directed at a specific protester from the ‘Brothers in Arms’ movement who has been coming intentionally early every morning for several weeks, to wake up his children and the entire neighborhood’s children, using a megaphone.”

The statement accuses the unnamed protester of “cursing at [Hadad] while he accompanies the children on the way to school,” and says that Ohana intends to file a request for a restraining order against him.

רביעי בבוקר,

קבוצה קטנה של שכנים בשכונת ביצרון מקריאה (כמדי בוקר) את שמות החטופים מתחת לביתו של אמיר אוחנה.

רק שאז קורה משהו בלתי נתפס. ממרפסת ביתו של יו״ר הכנסת יוצא אדם עם דגל הליכוד ומניף אצבע משולשת למקריאים על רקע שמות החטופים.

כן כן. זה החומר האנושי! pic.twitter.com/rN36wMiua7
