MK Pindrus again calls to shoot MK Lazimi in the legs, says 'start with Lazimi'

MK Yitzhak Pindrus (United Torah Judaism) repeated a call to shoot MK Naama Lazimi in the legs during a Knesset session, saying to start with her, according to an article published by our desk. The remark follows a similar statement earlier today.

MK Yitzhak Pindrus (United Torah Judaism) repeated his call to shoot MK Naama Lazimi (The Democrats) in the legs during a Knesset plenum debate Monday, adding the specific remark to "start with Lazimi." The comment came in the context of a debate about protesters blocking roads, with Pindrus reportedly saying he would support shooting road blockers in the legs — but starting with Lazimi. The Zioneer first reported on an initial similar statement at 12:48 Jerusalem.

The thread began with a report from N12 political correspondent Daphna Liel at 12:43 citing an alleged call by Pindrus to shoot Lazimi in the legs during a heated Knesset session. That initial report was followed by Pindrus posting a sarcastic follow-up questioning whether the threat should apply to a colleague who blocked a road before targeting Lazimi. A subsequent version reported that when asked whether he would support shooting Haredi protesters, Pindrus responded "start with Lazimi." The Zioneer covered the initial statement at 12:48 and this latest repeat at 13:23.

As The Zioneer reported earlier, the remarks have drawn attention to the inflammatory language used in the Knesset chamber. The debate concerned protesters blocking roads, a subject that has sparked heated exchanges in the Knesset.

No further details on the exact timing of the latest remark or on the Knesset's response were included in this report.
