A heated and heated debate erupted in the Israeli parliament during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech, after former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett interrupted him, raising questions about Qatar and the investigations into the October 7, 2023 attack. The verbal clash also included the prime minister's wife, Sara Netanyahu, who from her seat addressed Bennett in harsh tones, calling him "worthless" and "shameless."

It all started when Bennett interrupted Netanyahu's speech, asking him about his advisers who, according to him, had ties to Qatar, as well as the investigation into the events of October 7.

"What about your advisors from Qatar? Are they okay? What about the investigation into the events of October 7?" Bennett asked the prime minister.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also intervened in the debate, verbally attacking the former prime minister, accusing him of collaborating with the Joint Arab List.

"You shameless man! You are sitting with the Joint List and you are going to speak?! You are a worthless zero!" Ben-Gvir shouted.

The speaker of parliament, Amir Ohana, tried to calm the situation, asking the deputies to maintain order and respect during the session. But Bennett reacted by saying: "He is the one who does not respect anyone!"

The situation became even more tense when Sara Netanyahu joined the fray, addressing Bennett from her seat with shouts: "You're with the Joint Arab List! You worthless man! Shame on you! Shameless!"

Meanwhile, Bennett, opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot and other MKs continued to exchange comments and laughter during the speech. Prime Minister Netanyahu waited for the noise in the hall to subside before resuming his speech.

Clashes continued throughout the rest of the session. Several Arab lawmakers left the chamber to avoid standing during the performance of the Israeli national anthem, "Hatikvah."

On the other hand, Ben-Gvir and members of his party, Otzma Yehudit, also interrupted the speech of opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, raising their voices about the absence of representatives of the Joint List and the Ra'am party in the hall.

However, Ra'am leader Mansour Abbas remained in parliament during the anthem, along with the party's Jewish MP, Yoav Segalovich. They appeared to be the only representatives of Arab parties present in the chamber at the time.

The latest clash in the Knesset was marked by political accusations, repeated interruptions, and personal clashes, turning the parliamentary session into a chaotic scene.
