Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett repeatedly heckled caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the opening session of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament.
As Netanyahu addressed the assembly, Bennett interjected several times, disrupting the proceedings. The exchange took place in the formal setting of the Knesset’s inaugural meeting for the new legislative term.
Bennett, who led the government from 2021 to 2022, is now a member of the opposition, while Netanyahu serves as caretaker prime minister following the conclusion of his previous term. The Knesset’s opening session traditionally marks the start of parliamentary business and includes speeches from the prime minister.
The public confrontation underscores the ongoing political friction between the two leaders and their respective parties, reflecting broader tensions within Israel’s political landscape.
