MK thrown out of Knesset for taunting Arab lawmaker with candy bar
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBad-boy lawmaker Oren Hazan (Likud) was ejected from the Knesset for taunting an Arab MK with a candy bar.
Hazan waved a Tortit chocolate wafer at Joint List leader Ayman Odeh, in reference to Palestinian hunger strike leader and convicted terrorist Marwan Barghouti, who was recently apparently filmed secretly eating one of them while on a hunger strike.
The candy bar had been planted in his cell by the Israeli prison authorities.
Odeh had taken part in a day-long solidarity hunger strike with Palestinian security prisoners.
