Where they diverge
-
The nature of the military's involvement and the authorization of the demolition.
- The Jerusalem Post: The IDF confirmed it diverted troops from standard operational duties to guard MK Zvi Sukkot on what he called a 'memorial tour' and later instructed soldiers to intervene and remove the group after seeing what was happening.
- Middle East Eye: Sukkot was accompanied by Israeli military forces during the incident, despite the army later saying that the destruction had not been authorised.
-
The reason for the demolition.
- The Jerusalem Post: The IDF stated that Sukkot acted 'deceitfully and manipulatively, without authority and in complete violation of the approved framework' while demolishing the memorial.
- Middle East Eye: Sukkot said the memorial commemorated two Palestinians who had killed Israelis and argued that it could not be allowed to remain, stating he wanted it destroyed because children growing up in the village and passing it would be inspired to become 'martyrs' themselves.
