Coalition lawmakers on Tuesday stormed a Knesset event on settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, threatening participants in what the Arab-majority Hadash-Ta’al party called “displays of violence, incitement, and political thuggery.”

At various times throughout the event, called “Transfer in Practice: Palestinian Communities Under Attack,” right-wing lawmakers entered the hall, shouting at attendees, including Israeli peace activists, civil society groups, diplomats, and bereaved families.

The word “transfer” refers to the idea of forcibly expelling Arabs from Israel or the West Bank.

Footage from the event captured lawmakers shouting at and threatening participants. Otzma Yehudit’s Almog Cohen told attendees, “May two thousand of your mothers weep and not one of ours.”ֿ

Otzma Yehudit MK Limor Son Har-Melech accused those present, whom she called “terror supporters,” of seeking a “transfer of Jews from Judea and Samaria” – Biblical terminology for the West Bank” – by establishing a “Palestinazi state.”

Hadash Ta’al MK Touma-Sliman responded, “You know a Palestinian state will be established, the occupation will end, and you will have to fold. And, I’m sorry to say, you have a few more days in power, but you’ll go away soon.”
