Speaker at the Knesset denounces the actions of the occupation

During an Israeli Knesset vote on a bill to ‘combat terrorism’ in July 2023, Palestinian politician and Member of Knesset, Ayman Odeh, was cut off and kicked off the podium after angering the Knesset by voicing his support for Palestinians in Jenin. 'Blood is on your hands because of your damned occupation,' he had said. He highlighted the Palestinian's right to resist occupation, emphasising both Israeli and Palestinian people have the right to peace. After a kerfuffle broke out following his statements, he said, ‘Why do the Palestinians continue to fight? Because their fight is just and because they are fighting for their liberation.’
