The absurd reason a petition was filed against MK Zvi Sukkot

Moshe (Bogi) Ya'alon and Omer Bar-Lev, together with the "Zulat" association, filed a petition with the Central Elections Committee to disqualify the candidacy of MK Zvi Sukkot from Religious Zionism. The petition relates to his parliamentary activity promoting sanctions against terror supporters and proposals to remove enemy supporters from the political arena. The Elections Committee has already dismissed the request to disqualify Sukkot personally due to insufficient signatures.

Moshe (Bogi) Ya'alon and Omer Bar-Lev, together with the "Zulat" association and others, filed a petition with the Central Elections Committee seeking to disqualify the candidacy of MK Zvi Sukkot from Religious Zionism. The petition relates to Sukkot's parliamentary activity: in December 2024 he promoted the "Sanctions on Terror Supporters" bill, which passed a preliminary reading, and in 2026 he promoted a Basic Law bill to create a new disqualification ground for those expressing support for an enemy state during an armed struggle against Israel. The petition also seeks to disqualify Bezalel Smotrich and Moshe Feiglin. Sukkot responded that the demand to disqualify him is "the greatest compliment" and claimed that Ya'alon is damaging Israel's image. The Elections Committee has already dismissed the request to disqualify Sukkot personally due to insufficient signatures, but the request to disqualify the Religious Zionism list continues to be heard. The article uses loaded terminology such as "madness" to describe left-wing actions.
