An Israeli lawmaker was forcibly removed from a parliament session on Monday while addressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and calling him a "serial killer of peace" for the genocide in Gaza.
"For over 30 years, you've been a serial killer of peace," Ayman Odeh said in a clip shared to X. "What is your vision? A serial killer of peace," he added before he was removed from the podium.

Odeh, leader of the left-wing Hadash party and Palestinian resident of Israel, started his address with the story of Mohammed Abu al-Qumsan, a displaced 31-year-old Palestinian whose wife and 3-day-old twins were killed in an Israeli airstrike in a "safe zone" while he was picking up their birth certificates.
"'Hardly 10 minutes had passed since I had obtained the birth certificates and here I am now obtaining their death certificates. I collapsed,'" Odeh recounted to a stone-faced Netanyahu.
He added that Israeli forces have killed 17,385 babies in Gaza, 825 of whom were under the age of one, and orphaned 35,055 children.
"The blood of all of them will haunt you, and still in your impudence you wonder just how you are accused in the ICC," Odeh continued before he was removed from the podium.
In May 2024, the International Crime Court applied for an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Hamas' leader Yahya Sinwar, who was killed by Israel Defense Forces in October, according to reporting by the BBC. The judges have yet to decide as of Nov. 19, 2024.
