MK Erez Tadmor calls MK Naama Lazimi a 'chicken' in Knesset committee, sparks walkout

During a Knesset committee meeting, Likud MK Erez Tadmor called opposition MK Naama Lazimi a 'chicken', leading to accusations of misogyny and his removal from the session along with another MK.

A scandal erupted at the first meeting of the Knesset's organizing committee. New Likud MK Erez Tadmor, whom opposition members called a 'weapons thief', got into a verbal altercation. Tadmor was convicted during his military service for stealing military property and sentenced to 45 days in prison. He called MK Meirav Ben Ari a 'chicken', which sparked accusations of misogyny. In response, Tadmor said: 'We extend our hand for unity, and you join supporters of terror.' Later, he called MK Naama Lazimi from the Democrats party a 'road blocker', to which she replied: 'There's your unity.'
