'Violent provocateur': Opposition leaders decry MK Sukkot's destruction of West Bank monument
Sukkot's behavior is a "disgrace" to public leaders, Eisenkot stated. "He lied and deceived the IDF and its commanders, harmed security and tarnished the entire State of Israel."
Opposition leaders have denounced MK Zvi Sukkot for destroying a West Bank monument during Sukkot. Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot called Sukkot a "violent provocateur" who deceives the IDF and harms Israel's security. Prime Minister Netanyahu is accused of allowing anarchists like Sukkot to undermine the state. Yachad leader Naftali Bennett criticized the government for endangering soldiers' lives for election videos.
The Democrats' leader Yair Golan accused Sukkot of being the reason IDF forces were diverted to the West Bank before the October 7 massacre. MK Gilad Kariv and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz also called out Sukkot's actions, stating that the Knesset members must uphold the law and that this behavior represents anarchism.
