Far-right Israeli lawmaker damages Palestinian memorial with sledgehammer

"This is something we cannot leave standing here, because any place that glorifies terrorism, we must remove it."

— Zvi Sukkot , Politician

"Taking the law into one's own hands, especially when it involves public figures, is a reprehensible practice that prevents the IDF from focusing on its missions of combating terrorism and incitement to violence."

— Benjamin Netanyahu , Politician

"Sukkot's behaviour was a disgrace for anyone who claims to represent the public and be a leader."

— Gadi Eisenkot , Politician

"The frantic rush of the left-wing opposition to condemn Sukkot rather than terrorism itself."

— Bezalel Smotrich , Politician
