Israel Bar Association head tossed from Knesset meeting after shouting match with lawmaker about bar association fees

Israel Bar Association leader Amit Becher has been ejected from a meeting of the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee following a heated argument with MK Hanoch Milwidsky.

During a discussion of a bill sponsored by Milwidsky to transfer authority over setting bar membership fees to Justice Minister Yariv Levin, Becher accuses the MK’s party, Likud, of lying about his organization’s budget, sparking a shouting match across the room.

Chairman Simcha Rothman orders Becher ejected from the room, and he is removed by ushers. He is later ejected twice more during the course of the stormy debate.
