The acting chairman of the arrangements committee, MK Boaz Toporovsky, removed Knesset members David Bitan, David Amsalem, Orit Struck and Yaakov Asher from the debate.
MK Meir Porush called on Toporovsky to 'stop the rampage," and MK David Amsalem called Toporovsky a 'bully who should be put in the hospital' and several other members of the opposition left the room in protest over the acting chairman's behavior.
