Ayman Odeh and Ofer Cassif, the two Israeli lawmakers who displayed a signboard reading “genocide” to the US President during his speech at the Knesset, were ejected almost immediately from Israel's parliament.

On his X account, Odeh posted. “The amount of hypocrisy in the plenum is unbearable. To crown Netanyahu through flattery the likes of which has never been seen, through an orchestrated group, does not absolve him and his government of the crimes against humanity committed in Gaza, nor of the responsibility for the blood of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian victims and thousands of Israeli victims. But only because of the ceasefire and the overall deal am I here. Only ending the occupation, and only recognising the State of Palestine alongside Israel, will bring justice, peace, and security to all," he said.
