MKs removed from plenum for heckling Netanyahu
Zionist Union MKs Hilik Bar and Michal Biran are removed from the plenum hall after sparring with Netanyahu during the prime minister’s speech.
During his remarks, Netanyahu slammed the “sourpusses” who are only happy “when settlements are being evacuated.”
In response, Bar shouted: “We haven’t evacuated anyone… you carried out the disengagement,” referring to the evacuation of Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip in 2005.
“I am happy that concern for the settlements has trickled down to the opposition,” quips Netanyahu.
Bar is removed by security and Biran is asked to leave over her heckling a few moments later.
