"You have half an hour": Zvi Sukkot's ultimatum to Yair Golan

MK Yair Golan (The Democrats) accused MK Zvi Sukkot (Religious Zionism) that because of him, IDF forces were transferred from the south to the West Bank on the eve of October 7, and called for his imprisonment. Sukkot vehemently denied the claim, issued a half-hour ultimatum to delete the post, and threatened a libel suit.

A sharp political conflict erupted on X between MK Yair Golan (The Democrats party) and MK Zvi Sukkot (Religious Zionism). Golan published a post accusing Sukkot that because of him, IDF forces were transferred from the south to Judea and Samaria on the eve of the October 7 attack, and that he is "a person who should be behind bars, not in the Knesset of Israel." Golan claimed that Sukkot's conduct reflects a broader pattern of the government, including incitement and confrontations, and called for removing "the Kahanists and messianists from centers of power." In response, Sukkot vehemently denied the claim and wrote to Golan: "You have exactly half an hour to delete this lie. Not a single soldier was moved because of me from the south to the West Bank." Sukkot threatened legal action if the post was not removed, while referencing a previous libel suit against Dan Harel. The confrontation occurs against the backdrop of the vandalism of terrorist memorials, as noted in the subtitle.
