During a heated debate in the Knesset House Committee, Pnina Tamano-Shata, who leads the committee on women's status and gender equality, was removed after vocally opposing the appointment of Hanoch Milwidsky as Finance Committee chair. The discussion grew tense as Tally Gotliv defended Milwidsky, who is under investigation for rape and witness tampering, and criticized the Attorney General's Office. Earlier, Tamano-Shata and other female opposition members had publicly condemned the planned appointment.
