A shouting match broke out in the Knesset on Tuesday during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech, after MK Gila'ad Kariv (Labor) yelled at him over the issue of Qatari money. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and MK Limor Son Har-Melech (Otzma Yehudit) responded with shouts of their own, attacking the opposition's intention to form a government with the backing of Arab parties.
The confrontation occurred while Netanyahu was attacking Ra'am and the Joint List in his speech, claiming that despite the differences between them, both parties reject Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state.
During the speech, MK Kariv began shouting at the prime minister, raising the issue of Qatari money. In response, Ben-Gvir and Son Har-Melech shouted back, accusing him of being disgraceful (in light of the opposition's intention to sit with what they called terror supporters.)
The exchange took place against the backdrop of Netanyahu's remarks against the Arab parties.
The prime minister said in his speech:
"There are those in this house who for some reason think there is a big difference between the supposedly 'moderate' Ra'am and the 'extremist' Joint List."
