Religious Zionist party MK Itamar Ben Gvir filed a complaint with police against Joint List leader Ayman Odeh Tuesday night after an altercation between the two at a central Israel hospital devolved into a physical confrontation.
The confrontation took place at Kaplan Medical Center in Rehovot when Odeh went to offer his support to a member of the Hamas terrorist group who is held without charge and has been on a hunger strike for nearly three months. Ben Gvir was said to have come to complain that the suspect was being treated in an Israeli hospital.
Footage of the incident shows Odeh blocking Ben Gvir from entering the ward where the suspect was hospitalized with his body. The two lawmakers can be heard trading barbs, with Odeh shouting "you're a little terrorist, you will not enter, go away" at the hard-right lawmaker.
He is then seen pushing Ben Gvir as he pressed forward toward the room. Ben Gvir lunged at him only to be stopped by staff who stepped in to separate the pair.
