This is the lawmaker, Ayman Odeh.  Ayman Odeh: "After a year and a half of war in which you killed 19,000 children, 53,000 residents of Gaza, you destroyed all the universities and the hospitals. And for you, there is no political win. You feel there is no political win. That's why you go crazy." .
