Likud Minister David Amsalem mocks Israeli Air Force colonel Udi Ori, who was struck in the face by a police water cannon last week, during an anti-overhaul protest in Tel Aviv and nearly lost his eye.

“There was one person who was scratched near his eye, and BBC was sent to interview him. All of the TV networks showed up. Why? Because some elitist hurt his eye,” Amsalem says during a plenum debate.
