Deputy Minister Michael Oren said on Monday, "The Joint List showed a shameful and disrespectful attitude toward the presence of US Vice President Mike Pence."

The former ambassador to Washington, DC added, "The United States is the most important ally of the State of Israel, and the vice president's speech proves this. The behavior of the Joint List at the end of the speech only reinforces the need to take disciplinary action against them, including a suspension from the Knesset."
