Two Israeli lawmakers were removed from the Knesset after protesting for Palestine's right to statehood.

Holding up a banner that read "Recognize Palestine," Arab-Israeli leader of the left-wing Hadash alliance Ayman Odeh was quickly ejected by security. During his removal, members of the Knesset began chanting and clapping.
Hadash member Ofer Cassif also tried to hold up a banner but was forcibly removed from the chamber.

US President Donald Trump commented "That was very efficient" in response.
