National Unity MK Gideon Sa’ar tells Justice Minister Yariv Levin “to get hospitalized,” during a heated exchange in the Knesset plenum over the coalition’s judicial overhaul.

“You want to destroy the country, we won’t let you,” charges Sa’ar, who was justice minister before Levin. “You’ve been torpedoing the [judicial] reform talks from day one.”

Sa’ar was responding to Levin’s accusations that the opposition was to blame for the lack of progress in the negotiations being held at the President’s Residence.
