A member of the Knesset was removed from the podium and subsequently expelled after labeling Netanyahu as a ‘serial killer’

Ayman Odeh, the leader of the Hadash-Ta’al alliance and a Palestinian citizen of Israel, delivered a sharply critical speech in the Knesset on Monday. He directly accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was present in the chamber, of being a “serial killer of peace.”

Odeh reported that a total of 17,385 infants have lost their lives in Gaza due to actions attributed to the system, with 825 of these children being under the age of one.

A staggering total of 35,055 children have been orphaned in Gaza, a humanitarian crisis that remains a grim testament to the ongoing conflict. The responsibility for these innocent lives will inevitably serve as a haunting legacy. Amid this backdrop, questions persist regarding accountability, particularly in reference to the potential for charges at the International Criminal Court (ICC). Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing mounting scrutiny over his policies and leadership decisions, with critics urgently seeking clarity on his future vision for the region.

A video posted by Odeh on platform X captured intense reactions from his colleagues in the Knesset following his remarks. In response, the head of the Knesset directed him to be escorted off the platform, while three individuals intervened to remove him from the microphone.

After his removal from parliament, he recorded the rest of his speech and disseminated it on the X platform.

He issued an appeal for peace, security, and justice for Arabs residing in the occupied territories, further asserting that for the past 30 years, Netanyahu has consistently undermined peace efforts affecting both Palestinians and Israeli settlers in these regions.

“The vision for life will ultimately prevail over the vision of blood that you uphold,” Odeh declared.

Growing public dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s policies is becoming increasingly evident, as weekly demonstrations continue to take place in Tel Aviv and other locations across the occupied territories. These protests are directed at what many perceive as the Israeli government’s inadequate actions and policy failures.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces accusations of obstructing a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, allegedly to further his personal and political objectives.

Over the past year, allegations have emerged against Israel regarding its actions in Gaza, with reports claiming the deaths of at least 43,922 Palestinians and injuries to 103,898 more.

In a significant toll reported from Lebanon, the ongoing conflict since October 7, 2023, has resulted in the confirmed deaths of at least 3,516 individuals, with an additional 14,929 sustaining injuries due to strikes attributed to Israeli forces. These figures underscore the severe humanitarian impact amidst the hostilities centered around Gaza.
