A second confrontation broke out in the Knesset plenum Monday night between Coalition Chairman MK Ofir Katz and Hadash-Ta'al MK Ayman Odeh, with ushers physically separating them. Katz reportedly shouted "You're here to serve the Nukhba" and called Odeh "Judenrat" during debate on the Red Cross bill, according to Knesset Channel reporter Daphna Liel.
A second physical confrontation erupted in the Knesset plenum Monday evening, minutes after the first scuffle was resolved, between Coalition Chairman MK Ofir Katz (Likud) and Hadash-Ta'al MK Ayman Odeh. According to Knesset Channel correspondent Daphna Liel, Katz shouted at Odeh: "You're here to serve the Nukhba" and used the term "Judenrat" — a reference to Jewish councils under Nazi occupation — before ushers separated the two lawmakers. The confrontation took place during a heated debate over a bill to bar Red Cross visits to Nukhba terrorists captured on October 7. As The Zioneer reported at 21:25, the first scuffle occurred minutes earlier when Katz called Odeh a "terrorist" and the two clashed. The Knesset Guard is expected to review the incident; no injuries were reported.
