JERUSALEM: Israel´s parliament has decided to give a controversial rightwing
lawmaker a
security detail
after a widely-shared video showed him
insulting Palestinians heading to visit detained relatives, a spokesman said Tuesday. Oren Hazan, a provocative figure from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu´s Likud party, dispensed the abuse on Monday
after boarding a bus of
Palestinians allowed to exit the Gaza Strip to see family members held in an
Israeli jail. ?Your relatives belong in the ground,? he says in the footage, demanding that passengers denounce ?terrorist acts? against Israel. ?Your son is a dog,? he tells a woman from the coastal enclave. Hazan used the stunt to criticise Israel´s policy of allowing permits for such visits while Gaza´s Islamist rulers Hamas allegedly hold three civilians and the bodies of two
Israeli soldiers. One woman replies: ?Speak to Hamas to see your children, not us.?
