‘Uproar’ as Laborites boo Herzog; then he tries to boot them

Herzog is met with boos at a meeting of the Labor Party in Tel Aviv. He responds saying, “They’ve already called me a dog, I’m unmoved. I’m staying here,” but the cries against him continued as he tries to deliver his speech.

Herzog instructs party secretary Hilik Bar to throw the protesters out of the hall.

“I entered in the midst of an uproar and I was shocked by what was happening in the hall,” Labor MK Shelly Yachimovich tells Channel 2. “It was an expression of people’s anger. I understood that Herzog threatened to throw out those who booed him. He who wants to be a leader shouldn’t be a crybaby.”
