Einav Zangauker, the mother of hostage Matan Zangauker, who is taking part in the fight for the release of those held captive in Gaza, was prevented from entering the Knesset on Wednesday due to “serious violations of public order” .
The Knesset Speaker’s Office explained that Zangauker, “despite his repeated promises, continued to seriously violate the order.”
According to the statement, she “prevented the smooth running of committee discussions, attempted to throw a glass bottle at a guest and, as if that were not enough, in the presence of the Knesset Security Commander, she threatened to stab a guest if she had a knife.”

“How would it make sense that my son was kidnapped under the watch of 120 Knesset members and I was not allowed to visit them in the building? »
“The Knesset is afraid to hear what happens to kidnapped men and women as they transfer budgets and trade jobs,” she added.
