Economy Minister and Bayit Yehudi chairman Naftali Bennett spoke at the Haaretz Israel Conference for Peace at the David Intercontinental Hotel in Tel Aviv, Tuesday, July 8, 2014.
Bennett was heckled, booed, called a murderer and allegedly hit in the back on his way out of the hall after the speech. According to Bennett’s office, when he finished addressing the crowd, a small group of hecklers followed him out, and one punched him in the back. He turned around, asked, “Who hit me?” and was hustled out of the room by guards. Haaretz responded to the incident by issuing a statement saying that Bennett “took advantage” of the “misconduct of one of the conference attendees who pushed him lightly, and claimed he was punched in order to create headlines and mislead the media.”
The conference, was later disrupted by air raid sirens sounding as the Iron Dome intercepted a rocket from Gaza aimed at Tel Aviv.
