RZP members accuse Sukkot of causing party's 'political suicide' by destroying West Bank monument
Smotrich reportedly told Sukkot he should not have acted without proper authorization and authority, and demanded that he not do it again
Assessment
A faction within the Religious Zionist Party is publicly blaming MK Zvi Sukkot for the party's self-destructive trajectory after he dismantled a West Bank monument without authorization. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has reportedly rebuked Sukkot directly, telling him he lacked the authority to act alone. The internal feud exposes a party torn between performative activism and the discipline needed to govern. Watch whether this fracture widens into a formal split or gets papered over before the next election.
