Netanyahu heckled over arms sales to human rights violators at Bible contest
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at a national Bible contest is interrupted by a group of activists opposed to Israeli arms sales to human rights violators.
The activists specifically call for Israel to halt all military assistance to Myanmar, where the ruling military junta has been accused of committing genocide against the country’s Muslim Rohingya population.
According to the Israeli government, the group’s request has already been achieved, as weapons exports were frozen several months ago in light of the situation in the Asian country.
