Netanyahu condemns MK Sukkot's unauthorized demolition of terror monument
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday condemned lawmaker Zvi Sukkot’s unauthorized demolition of a monument to terrorists in the village of Madama in Samaria, saying public officials must not take the law into their own hands.“The [Israel Defense Forces] has overriding authority on security in Judea and Samaria and is entrusted with implementing the decisions of the political echelon,” said Netanyahu. “Taking the law into one’s own hands, particularly by public figures, is unacceptable and hinders the IDF from focusing on its missions of combating terror and incitement.”כל ילד שרואה מדי יום אנדרטת ענק שמפארת רוצחי יהודים, יחלום להיות מחבל.יחד עם אנשי הקול היהודי פניתי לצה"ל מספר פעמים בשבועות האחרונים בבקשה שיסירו את אנדרטאות הטרור בכל המרחב כחלק מהמלחמה בטרור, ואני מקווה מאוד שזה יקרה בהקדם האפשרי.בינתיים, טעימה קטנה מהבוקר בכפר מדמא… pic.twitter.com/HPIMzrP3PaThe IDF said the Religious Zionism MK’s entry into Madama had been coordinated, but the destruction of…
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned MK Zvi Sukkot's unauthorized demolition of a monument to terrorists in the village of Madama, Samaria, stating that "Taking the law into one's own hands, particularly by public figures, is unacceptable." The IDF confirmed that while Sukkot's entry into Madama was coordinated, the monument's destruction was not, calling his actions "deceitful and manipulatively, without authority." Sukkot, who chairs the Knesset Subcommittee for Judea and Samaria, defended his actions as a stand against incitement, following reports that the monument honored terrorists involved in attacks against Israelis. The IDF stated it was already preparing to demolish the monument through an authorized operation. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also criticized Sukkot's method, emphasizing that such monuments should be destroyed "by the IDF—and by the IDF alone."
