MK Zvi Sukkot Slams Petition Seeking His Knesset Disqualification
Member of Knesset Zvi Sukkot released a video fiercely criticizing those behind a petition seeking to disqualify him from running in the upcoming Knesset elections. Sukkot expressed disbelief that individuals he described as "talking to the enemy with the intelligence of a cat" were once responsible for Israel's security.
He specifically targeted two individuals, a former IDF Chief of Staff and Defense Minister, and a former commander of the Sayeret Matkal special forces unit, brigade commander, and Minister of Internal Security, for initiating the petition against his candidacy. Sukkot stated, "We are simply living in an open miracle. Two people... are filing a petition to disqualify my candidacy for the Knesset of Israel."
Sukkot addressed claims made against him in the petition, including his visit to the Palestinian town of Huwara in 2023 following the murder of Hillel and Yagel Yaniv. He explained his presence, stating, "Two Jews were murdered, Hillel and Yagel, they did no harm to anyone, they were just murdered, and I came to demand that there be security there."
