A far-left Israeli politician was forcibly thrown out of President Trump’s address to the country’s parliament after loudly disrupting his speech.
There was a brief moment of chaos in the Knesset when Ofer Cassif, a member of parliament from the extreme left-wing Hadash party, began shouting while Trump was praising his special envoy, Steve Eitkoff, for his part bringing “peace in the Middle East.”
It wasn’t immediately clear what Cassif was yelling. He was quickly expelled from the chamber to cheers from the majority of Israel’s MPs. Security also went over to another Knesset member and removed him.
Trump is in Jerusalem to address the Israeli parliament following the freeing of the remaining hostages held by Hamas.
