Police commander in Jerusalem filmed shouting ‘you’re a loser’ at opposition MK

A police commander at the scene of a Jerusalem protest is filmed calling The Democrats MK Naama Lazimi “a loser” as she demonstrates for a hostage-ceasefire deal near the prime minister’s residence.

Lazimi joined thousands of protesters this evening in Jerusalem for a rally outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official residence, which later moved down the road to his private home, where police erected crowd control barricades.

After police officers refuse to allow the left-wing lawmaker to pass a barricade bisecting the road, Cdr. Yuval Reuven, who heads the Moriah police station, approaches Lazimi and shouts “you’re a loser” several times before walking off.

Lazimi, who enjoys parliamentary immunity as a Knesset lawmaker, writes on X that her immunity is seen as “conditional” by the police, and “applies only to supporters of Ben Gvir and Netanyahu — for opponents of the regime, it no longer exists.”

In a swipe at the police commander, she adds in another post that a “loser is someone detached from his duty to serve the country and has opted to serve a despot and Kahanist.”

The Democrats chairman Yair Golan calls for a probe by the Police Internal Investigations Department over the incident.
