An uproar was registered this morning (Monday) during a discussion in the Constitution Committee on the legal revolution, ahead of the vote later today in the plenary on some of its sections.
The chair of the committee Simcha Rothman opened the discussion and after addressing the Knesset members in the committee with "Good Morning", members of the opposition factions answered him "a national day of mourning" and "a small Yom Kippur". The discussion rose to high tones when MK Tali
Gottlieb (Likud) commented Infuriated at the demonstration outside her home this morning, and said that the protesters are "human animals, animals of prey. This is how you don't protest, this is how you don't demonstrate. We are public messengers, we will do our job faithfully."
It will end in blood, God forbid.
stop
This must not happen, whether you are right-wing or left-wing."
MK Orna Barbibai (Yesh Atid) shouted back at her: "This is true both ways, I agree with you, but it should also be true about your statement regarding President Ester Hayut."
She referred to Gottlieb's words that the President of the Supreme Court is to blame for the wave of attacks.
MK Naama Lazimi (Labor) was removed from the debate after she took the opportunity to speak about rights for parents of children with disabilities, and refused to stop despite the calls of Chairman Rothman.

MK Orit Farkash HaCohen (state camp) said at the beginning of the debate that "This is a difficult day for us and for many citizens of Israel.
Despite your calls for negotiations, I did not find here in the committee an outstretched hand for negotiations.
I am disappointed with the process here and the results of this discussion.
I have not seen an event in the Knesset where a bill enters and exits in almost the same wording.
This reform will create a dictatorship, it is not a matter of left and right.
This is an injury to our children."
MK Efrat Raiten (Labor) said, "You succeeded, you are already changing. Your reform is changing the world. Both the judges and the legal advisers are going to be on behalf, you have started to destroy."
On the other hand, MK Ariel Kellner (Likud) said that "anarchists and hotheads are doing something.
People here need to understand that they have responsibilities.
Today is a holiday for the people of Israel.
No more a minority ruling the majority or an oligarchy ruling all.
Returning everything to the people."
