The first session of the Knesset's Committee for the Organization of Work concluded in disarray on November 11, 2026, after coalition lawmakers repeatedly disrupted discussions, insulted opponents, and accused Arab faction representatives of supporting terrorism. Consequently, two parliamentarians were removed from the hall.

The conflict escalated shortly after the session began, chaired by Roi Folkman. Erez Tadmor, a Likud MK with a prior conviction for stealing weapons and military property, engaged in a verbal altercation with Naama Lazimi, an MK from the Democrats party. Tadmor's insult, calling Lazimi a "chicken," led to accusations of misogyny. He then asserted that while the coalition offered a hand for unity, their opponents collaborated with terrorism supporters. Lazimi responded sarcastically, "There's unity for you."

Later, Talli Gotliv, an MK from Otzma Yehudit, was escorted out for persistently interrupting speakers. Almog Cohen, a Likud representative, was also removed. The session was repeatedly halted, with the chairman struggling to restore order.
