Likud MK repeatedly heckled, forced to leave Holocaust memorial event in Tel Aviv

Even as President Isaac Herzog urges Israelis to leave societal rifts over the government’s judicial overhaul out of Holocaust memorial day, Likud MK Boaz Bismuth is forced to leave a ceremony at a synagogue in Tel Aviv after participants heckle him.

In footage on social media, people are seen shouting, “Shame” toward Bismuth during his attempt to speak, while others demand that they stop.

The dispute between the parts of the crowd heats up and almost descends to physical violence, leading Bismuth to leave the place.
