As part of the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas, 20 Israeli hostages and 1,966 Palestinian prisoners were released.

The Haaretz newspaper reported that left-wing lawmakers also opened a banner saying "Recognize Palestine." The Jerusalem Post (JP) reported that one of the banners contained the word "genocide."

According to a statement from the Israeli Army, Odeh and Cassif were expelled from the parliament due to the protest.
"THERE ARE TWO PEOPLES HERE"

Realize this simple truth: There are two peoples here, and no one is leaving."

Odeh is known for expressing his reaction to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the civilian deaths in Gaza, calling him "the serial killer of peace."
