Naftali Bennett interrupts Benjamin Netanyahu's call to investigate suspected foreign involvement in Israeli elections with a different demand: an investigation into October 7.

The exchange appears in footage published by Israel's i24NEWS Hebrew (i24NEWS עברית). Netanyahu pauses at the parliamentary podium as shouting spreads through the chamber, then resumes by calling for a thorough investigation of suspicions that foreign actors intervened with large sums of money. He does not identify those actors in the excerpt.

Bennett, who served as prime minister from 2021 to 2022, responds from his seat by asking about an investigation into the October 7 attacks. Itamar Ben-Gvir turns toward him and challenges whether such an inquiry would involve Mansour Abbas, the leader of Ra'am. Earlier in the clip, Ben-Gvir confronts Bennett about political alliances and directs personal insults at him.

The dispute then shifts to forming a government. Netanyahu says no government should depend in any way on Ra'am, an Arab party that participated in the coalition supporting Bennett's premiership. That history gives Ben-Gvir's reference to Abbas a specific political context.

Near the end, Bennett interrupts again, challenging Netanyahu about what he calls his Qatari advisers. The excerpt records the competing demands and accusations, without providing evidence for the suspected election interference or resolving the questions shouted from the seats.
