Oren Hazan
Oren Asaf Hazan (Hebrew: אורן אסף חזן; born 28 October 1981) is a former Israeli politician. He served as a member of the 20th Knesset for the Likud party between 2015 and 2019.
The son of former Likud Knesset member Yehiel Hazan and Aviva, Oren served in the Israeli Air Force during his IDF national service as an air traffic controller, and a security officer. He studied law at Ono Academic College, where he was chairman of the student union. He later managed a casino in Bulgaria.
Prior to the 2015 elections, he was placed 30th on the Likud list, a spot reserved for young candidates. He was elected to the Knesset as Likud won 30 seats.
After election to the Knesset, Hazan received membership in Foreign Affairs and Defense and the Knesset Committees, from which he was expelled by Likud, following a string of controversies, including a no-show at the plenum meeting, which led to the ruling coalition bill being rejected. In 2016 due to a series of reports of bullying and rude behavior towards members, colleagues suspended the politician from the floor of the Knesset chamber for a period of six months except for voting. Hazan was the second legislator in the history of the State of Israel to be suspended, with MK Haneen Zoabi being the first one.
Hazan placed 35th in the pre-April 2019 Israeli legislative election Likud primaries, a slot thought to have been too low to have a realistic chance for getting reelected to the Knesset. He therefore re-established the Tzomet party and ran on its list in the elections. His new party garnered only 0.06% of the vote and did not win any seats.
Of the Palestinians, Hazan stated in the Knesset: "We're gonna shut your mouths, and we're going to speak the truth. There is no Palestinian people. And there has never been a Palestinian people [in Hebrew, Am Ha'Falastinai]. ..." Hazan said that the Jewish people had been around for 3,500 years since Abraham and Isaac, while the Palestinian people had only been around for 40 years since Yasser Arafat.
In November 2015, Hazan was suspended from the Knesset for a month after accusing Meretz MK Issawi Frej of double voting, after Yesh Atid MK Karin Elharar asked for assistance as she has muscular dystrophy.
In December 2017, Hazan stopped a bus on its way to Nafha Prison, telling the Palestinian relatives that the prisoners were "terrorists who belong in the ground". He shouted at one prisoner's mother that her son was an "insect" and a "dog". The Red Cross stated that Israel has a duty to guarantee the safety and dignity of Palestinian families visiting prisoners, and that it "takes very seriously what happened today (Monday)".
