Ofer Cassif, a member of parliament from the extreme left-wing Hadash party, began shouting while Trump was praising his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, for his part bringing “peace in the Middle East.”
It wasn’t immediately clear what Cassif was yelling. He was quickly bundled out by security to cheers from the majority of Israel’s MPs who otherwise gave countless rounds of applause to Trump.
Security also went over to another Knesset member and removed him.
Cassif shared a lengthy post on X ahead of Trump’s arrival, condemning the US president’s visit.
“Today, Trump is arriving at the Knesset to deliver a victory speech, undoubtedly filled with self-aggrandizement and lies,” he wrote on Monday.
“With his complete support for the murderous government, he not only enabled the continuation of the genocide but also the continued abandonment of the kidnapped,” Cassif wrote, before adding, “Don’t thank him: boo him!”

Cassif was previously banned from parliamentary activity for two months in July after he criticized the actions of Israeli troops fighting Hamas in Gaza, and demanded that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be investigated for war crimes by the International Criminal Court, the Times of Israel reported.
Trump is in Jerusalem to address the Israeli parliament following the freeing of the remaining hostages held by Hamas.
