MK Ahmed Tibi today (Wednesday) sharply attacked MK Meirav Ben-Ari of Mish Atid - calling her "scum of a person.". How will you get to Meron on Lag BaOmer? Everything you need to know before Tibi addressed Ben Ari from the plenary rostrum and said that he would not forgive her for not expressing sorrow over the death of Al Jazeera journalist Shirin Abu Aqla in Jenin. "Calm down, there is one thing I will not forgive you for, and that is that you said you were not sorry for killing her - you are the scum of a person." Tibi added: "Get out of here, you are the scum of a person." Ben Ari replied: "Aren't you ashamed? Who are you anyway?""

Ben Ari then took the podium and said: "I'm fed up, I'm fed up! What is this behavior? Have I ever cursed any of you? Have I ever spoken disparagingly to you? Never, not even when Kassif called me a chicken." She ended her remarks in tears. She was greeted with hugs from her coalition and opposition MKs. She then tweeted: "Here comes Ahmed Tibi, who regularly sabotages police work, who incites on the podium against IDF soldiers and security forces, calls police savages, and finally when I tell him that I don't need his forgiveness, he tells me that I'm a piece of shit. Disgusting. I've really run out of words on the podium. He has to go home." Likud MK Keren Ben Barak came to Ben Ari's defense, and reprimanded Tibi from the podium: "You don't stand on the podium and call any MK here a piece of shit! You don't talk to any MK like that!".
