Otzma Yehudit MK Almog Cohen clashes with students at Tel Aviv University protesting the IDF raid on Jenin last week.

In video from the scene, the far-right lawmaker can be seen attempting to rip a Palestinian flag out of the hand of one student at the protest.

There was no immediate comment from police.

Cohen’s party has called for police to intervene when protesters wave the Palestinian flag, but police officials have resisted, noting that it is not illegal.
