I find it odd that he was heckled by some members of parliament, while he received a standing ovation by others. I understand that there are divisions in politics, however when a head of state visits to address parliament by invitation, they should make an effort to show some respect.
I don't believe we ever had an incident of this type when a foreign leader addressed congress.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper got a taste of Israel's rough-and-tumble parliament when he was heckled by Arab lawmakers during a speech.
In a speech praising Israel Monday, Harper was condemning efforts to boycott the Jewish state and denouncing people who "disgracefully" call it an apartheid state when two Arab members shouted at him.
Lawmaker Ahmad Tibi screamed "settlements," while a second lawmaker, Talab Abu Arar, then shouted and stormed out of the hall. After the outburst, Harper received a standing ovation from other parliamentarians.
