  • MK Zvi Sukkot's son interrupted his live TV interview.
  • Sukkot explained he was babysitting due to his wife's recent birth.
  • The interview shifted from Hamas to a family moment.
  • Sukkot recently welcomed his seventh child.

During a live interview on Channel 14, Israeli lawmaker Zvi Sukkot was unexpectedly interrupted by his young son, Hillel David. The incident occurred while Sukkot, who chairs the Knesset's Education Committee, was discussing the possibility of extensive action against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Sukkot smoothly transitioned from the serious security discussion to a lighthearted family moment, explaining to the interviewer, Noy Bar, that his wife had recently given birth and he was currently acting as a "babysitter."

Sukkot apologized to viewers for the interruption, asking his daughter Maayan to help with Hillel David. The lawmaker recently welcomed his seventh child, a daughter, just before the Sukkot holiday. The family, which now includes six daughters and one son, resides in the settlement of Yitzhar in the Samaria region.
