Oops? Meirav Ben-Ari accidentally spilled water on Goldknopf during a Knesset committee discussion

During a heated session of the Knesset Arrangements Committee, MK Meirav Ben-Ari accidentally spilled water on MK Yitzhak Goldknopf. Ben-Ari did not notice the incident and continued the discussion. The event recalled a similar case from 2012, when MK Anastasia Michaeli poured water on MK Raleb Majadele.

The Knesset Arrangements Committee convened yesterday (Wednesday) for a stormy session that included shouting and confrontations between MKs. During the discussion, MK Meirav Ben-Ari accidentally spilled water on MK Yitzhak Goldknopf. Ben-Ari, who was speaking with animated hand gestures, knocked over the water bottle that was beside her on the table, and in an attempt to set it upright, spilled the water on Goldknopf, who was sitting to her left. She did not notice the incident and continued the discussion as usual. The event recalled a similar case from January 2012, when MK Anastasia Michaeli poured a glass of water on MK Raleb Majadele during a verbal confrontation, but in that case the act was intentional and led to her being banned from Knesset sessions for a month.
