MK Ayman Odeh's Vehicle Attacked, Spat on by Violent Protesters in Ness Ziona

On July 19, 2025, Ayman Odeh, a Knesset member and leader of the Hadash-Ta'al alliance, was confronted by far-right protesters in Ness Ziona who surrounded his car and caused damage to the vehicle during his trip to an anti-war rally.
The assault occurred as Odeh was traveling to an anti-war rally amid heightened tensions over Israel's ongoing Gaza conflict and prior failed attempts to expel him from the Knesset.
During the attack, the mob spat, cursed, chanted 'Death to Arabs,' hit Odeh's car with sticks, cracked the windshield, and prevented him from addressing the crowd.
Officials representing Germany and the the United Kingdom denounced the attack as an intolerable assault on a democratically elected official, while Odeh posted on X, “Fascism will not pass. We will not let them prevail!”
Police arrested three local suspects but faced criticism for limited intervention, and the incident fueled calls to hold perpetrators accountable amid continuing investigations.
