Palestinian members of the Israeli government were kicked out of parliament on Monday for protesting a speech given by US Vice President Mike Pence.
Mr Pence became the first US Vice President to address the Israeli Knesset and was interrupted by protesters shouting ‘Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine’.
Protesting MP Jamal Zahalka stated Palestinians protested the speech because they oppose the recent decision of President Trump to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and said Mr Pence is an unwanted visitor to the region.
