Member of Knesset Orit Farkash-Hacohen has drawn significant criticism on social media for her choice of clothing during her second day at the Knesset. Farkash-Hacohen, who recently joined the Yashar party after previously being part of the Blue and White party, posted a video showing her arrival at parliament in casual wear, including a sweater and a jacket tied around her waist. The video, which she captioned "We're on it! Second day in the Knesset, starting. Update! And at the end, a hug from Avigdor from the Knesset guard," sparked a wave of negative comments. Many users deemed her attire inappropriate and disrespectful for the parliamentary setting. Online commentators likened her look to that of a teenager attending a concert or someone arriving from a festival, with one user specifically noting her exposed midriff and urging respect for the institution. Others questioned her seriousness and professionalism, comparing her appearance to that of a student on campus. The incident has also reignited discussions about the dress code within the Knesset, with some users suggesting more modest and classic clothing options for female lawmakers.
