During a stormy Knesset debate, MK Yitzhak Pindrus (United Torah Judaism) allegedly called for shooting MK Naama Lazimi (The Democrats) in the legs, according to a report by N12 political correspondent Daphna Liel. Pindrus then posted a sarcastic follow-up on social media, questioning whether the threat should apply to a colleague who blocked a road before targeting Lazimi.
The incident occurred during a Knesset committee session, with N12's Daphna Liel reporting that MK Yitzhak Pindrus (United Torah Judaism) allegedly told MK Naama Lazimi (The Democrats) that she should be shot in the legs. The remark sparked an uproar in the room. Shortly afterward, Pindrus posted on social media in a sarcastic tone, suggesting that such a threat would be more appropriate for a colleague who had blocked a road — a reference to Transportation Minister Goldknopf — before being directed at Lazimi. The Zioneer had previously reported the initial allegation based on the same source. No formal complaint or disciplinary action has been reported as of this writing. The remark is attributed only by the N12 report; no independent verification or additional witnesses have been cited.
