A video online shows a police officer in Tel Aviv shoving MK Gilad Kariv during a heated exchange.
The short video shows the officer pushing Kariv, a rabbi and Knesset lawmaker for The Democrats (formerly Labor), first with his body and then shoving him violently with both arms as the two yell at each other in the middle of a large crowd.

The incident takes place on the Ayalon highway in central Tel Aviv, which police are attempting to clear.
Dozens remain on the highway, out of the hundreds who previously blocked it, and at least two bonfires are continuing to blaze on the asphalt.
