MK Pnina Tamano-Shata (Blue and White) cried in her speech at a special Knesset debate on "the continuing national failure to absorb Ethiopian Jews."

"I would be happy to stand here as a politician and talk to you about life and health, but the last two weeks were hell for me, we saw 140,000 people in depression, and they talked only about violence. The prime minister is not here - politics is more important to him than we are."
