Likud MK ousted from hearing for comparing COVID measures to concentration camps

Likud MK Gadi Yevarkan is kicked out of a hearing of the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee for comments comparing COVID measures to the Holocaust.

Yevarkan laments the widespread use of the Green Pass, which is available only to Israelis who have received a COVID vaccine booster dose or been vaccinated or recovered in the past six months.

The majority of Israelis dont have a Green Pass,' claims Yevarkan, adding that millions of Israelis are without one; youre leaving out millions of citizens.

The Likud MK is asked to be quiet by the committee chair since his time to speak was over, but he refuses.

Do like theyre doing in Austria, thats what you want to do, he shouts, a reference to the European countrys decision to institute a lockdown just for the unvaccinated. All thats missing is concentration camps.

Yevarkan is ordered to be removed from the committee hearing by its chairman, Labor MK Gilad Kariv, and forcibly taken from the room by a Knesset security guard.

Disgraceful words, says Kariv, calling Yevarkans comments a low point.
