Some families in Knesset gallery turn backs on PM as he speaks

As Netanyahu addresses the Knesset, some families of October 7 hostages and victims in the visitors’ gallery turn their backs on the premier in a show of protest. Others hold up photographs of their loved ones.

Speaker Amir Ohana calls for the families to be removed, as protest is not allowed at the plenum, but then appears to walk it back, and says the relatives must show respect.
