President Donald Trump had his speech to Israel’s Knesset interrupted by two Israeli opposition lawmakers Monday — in a brief, but disruptive protest.
The president was in the middle of paying tribute to Special Envoy Steve Witkoff for his role in helping broker the Gaza peace deal which saw the release of the 20 remaining hostages held by Hamas earlier that morning.

The two protesting lawmakers were identified by Israeli media as Ayman Odeh
