Likud petitions election committee to penalize Yair Golan over alleged 'electioneering'
In the video, Golan states that Zvi Sukkot’s illegal destruction of a Palestinian monument in the West Bank “did not happen in a vacuum,” stating it was the “spirit of Netanyahu” that enabled him.
The Likud party has petitioned the Israeli election committee to penalize Democrats Party leader Yair Golan for allegedly engaging in electioneering through a video he posted. The video in question criticizes MK Zvi Sukkot, the leader of the Religious Zionist Party, for allegedly destroying a Palestinian monument in the West Bank, which Golan claims was enabled by the spirit of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Golan further asserts that Sukkot's actions and those of extremist individuals like him endanger Israel's national security and the IDF soldiers. In response to the petition, Sukkot threatened legal action against Golan if he does not remove the video within half an hour.
