Hazan then lamented that there is a “women’s junta” in the Knesset.Biran submitted a complaint to the Knesset Ethics Committee, describing the events and writing, “In other words, Hazan told me I should be a prostitute.”“This humiliating and sexist behavior by MK Hazan is sexual harassment,” Biran wrote. “I expect the committee to take the incident seriously and take the necessary steps to punish the MK and warn against the recurrence of such events.”Azaria said that the longer Hazan remains an MK, the worse the Knesset looks.“MK Oren Hazan systematically damages the public’s trust in MKs,” she said. “His statements today... are harmful, and I will not stand by silently. Every time there is a serious discussion and MK Hazan enters the committee, it becomes rude and populist. The regular tools the Knesset has do not work. We must take severe steps against such incidents.”The Ethics Committee has ruled against Hazan in a series of incidents in which he made comments deemed to be inappropriate to female MKs, including Ayelet Nahmias-Verbin (Zionist Union), Karin Elharar (Yesh Atid), Aida Touma-Sliman (Joint List) and Stav Shaffir (Zionist Union).However, the committee did say that it was unbecoming of lawmakers to call Hazan a pimp.Hazan called on Biran to opt out of her parliamentary immunity so he can sue her for “libel, slander and defamation.”“After attempted eliminations and targeted assassinations by the Palestinian Authority, haters of Israel and the Arab traitors in the Knesset, who try time and again to silence me, now another leftist MK has joined them,” Hazan said. He did not clarify how and when the PA allegedly attempted to kill him.והנה הגיף האהוב באיכות טובה יותר pic.twitter.com/DGl4mlmpfy
