| Anti-overhaul protesters forcibly removed from Knesset, opposition MKs invited them into building | ||
| 2023-07-11 | ||
Video shows ushers picking up and dragging several demonstrators sitting on the floor, moving them away from the plenum, where the commotion could be heard as MKs met inside. Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana praises the guards for preventing "a gang of law-breakers from blocking the Knesset plenum." Outside, opponents of the judicial overhaul are marching near the Knesset. Note the traditional Black Bloc attire and the traditional passive aggression. They’re not bothering to pretend anymore that they’re normal, patriotic Israelis overcome by disgust at Bibi’s perfidy.
Knesset Guard says Yesh Atid MKs responsible for letting protesters in building
All guests in the Knesset must receive an invitation from a politician in order to enter, and the Knesset Spokesperson’s Office reveals that Yesh Atid MK Merav Cohen and Naor Shiri from the opposition were the ones who signed off on their invitations. The statement says the pair will be brought before the Knesset’s Ethics Committee, which would decide whether to sanction them. It is unclear whether the politicians were aware of what the demonstrators were planning. | ||
