Chaos in Israeli parliament as Netanyahu rails against ‘deep state’

Israel’s parliament descended into chaos on Wednesday, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisting that Israel “will remain a democracy” while banging his fist in anger at opposition politicians who accused him of lying at the expense of the country’s security. Mr Netanyahu said opponents were “sowing anarchy in the streets” during the plenum discussion, as protests continue across the country against his latest political decisions and in favour of the return of hostages held in Gaza.
