MK (Hadash) Jamal Zahalka’s comments about Defense Minister Ehud Barak, stating “He enjoys classical music and murdering Gaza children” got him expelled from Israel’s Erev Chadash daily TV news magazine studio by the show’s host, Dan Margalit.

The incident occurred during an interview with the Arab lawmaker dealing with Arab politicians who sided with and attended an Erez Crossing event making a year since Operation Cast Lead, in which Israel was accused of “war crimes” during the counter-terrorism military offensive.

After the MK made his disparaging remarks about Barak, Margalit stopped the interview, requesting that he leave. Prior to complying, the Arab lawmaker used the opportunity to verbally assault Margalit too.
