Israeli Arab lawmakers were ejected from parliament on Monday as they stood to protest a speech from the rostrum by US Vice President Mike Pence.
Members of the Joint List coalition of Arab parties had pledged to boycott the Pence speech in protest at a December 6 decision by US President Donald Trump to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
A number of parliamentarians began shouting and holding up protest signs at the beginning of Pence's speech, before ushers pushed them out.
