Tibi did this after noticing that Gafni had gone up to sit in the gallery, alongside three of his grandchildren who had come to visit in the plenary gallery.

""I want to congratulate MK Gafni's three grandchildren. I want to tell you that you have a grandfather who is a veteran, talented and decent Knesset member.".

Afterwards, Tibi told Litzman: "When your grandchildren arrive, I promise to also greet them equally.".

Litzman responded: "But they're not coming...""
