MK Sukkot seen smashing monument in West Bank town while guarded by Israeli forces, footage shows
Sukkot can also be seen filming the incident on his personal phone, while someone else struck the monument with a sledgehammer
Assessment
Newly surfaced footage shows MK Zvi Sukkot involved in the destruction of a monument in a West Bank town while under Israeli military protection. The video captures Sukkot filming as another person swings a sledgehammer at the structure. This incident raises immediate questions about the limits of parliamentary immunity when lawmakers participate in what may constitute criminal vandalism under both Israeli and international law. The coming days will likely bring official responses from military prosecutors and the Knesset Ethics Committee.
