Supreme Court Deputy President Noam Sohlberg has Likud MK Tali Gotliv removed from the courtroom where petitions are being heard requesting that the recent election in the Knesset for state comptroller be annulled.
Gotliv repeatedly interrupted the hearing and was repeatedly warned by Sohlberg to desist, before he ordered her removed due to her final interruption.
Gotliv has shouted and heckled during numerous Supreme Court hearings along with other coalition MKs and right-wing activists in recent years, a phenomenon almost unheard of before the current government took office.
