Three Arab lawmakers were ejected from the Knesset plenum amid heated debates over a government-backed bill proposing the death penalty for terrorists. Tensions escalated as Waleed Taha was removed following a verbal clash with coalition members, and Ayman Odeh was expelled after a confrontation with National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, during which insults were exchanged. Ahmad Tibi was also removed during a subsequent altercation between Arab and far-right lawmakers, with the session chaired by Limor Son Har-Melech, the bill's sponsor. The chaotic scenes underscored deep divisions within the Knesset over the controversial legislation.
