MK Yair Golan left the Knesset plenum during Netanyahu's speech. MK Gilad Kariv attacked the leaders of the left-wing bloc who remained in the hall and called on them to turn their backs on the prime minister, whom he called 'a dangerous man and a liar'.

Chairman of the Democrats Party, MK Yair Golan, left the Knesset plenum today (Tuesday) during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech. Meanwhile, his party colleague, MK Gilad Kariv, harshly attacked the leaders of the left-wing bloc who remained seated in the hall, calling on them to follow Golan and turn their backs on the prime minister. Kariv wondered why the leaders of the 'Change' bloc (except Golan) continue to sit through Netanyahu's speech, especially when Gadi Eisenkot has no right to a response speech. Kariv also criticized his political partners in the left-wing bloc, saying that 'there is no place for fake statesmanship' and that they are 'the antithesis of statesmanship'. He called on his colleagues to respect their voters and turn their backs on the prime minister, whom he called 'a dangerous man and a liar'.
