Where they diverge
-
The manner and justification of the demolition
- The Jerusalem Post: The IDF stated that Sukkot acted "deceitfully and manipulatively, without authority and in complete violation of the approved framework" and that the IDF views the MK's conduct as "an exploitation of the protection provided by security forces in order to act in complete excess of his authority."
- 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, “We must take it down,” and adding that he wanted the memorial destroyed because children growing up in the village and passing it would be inspired to become “martyrs” themselves.
-
The context of the military presence
- 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' in several villages in Areas A and B in the West Bank.
- Middle East Eye: Sukkot, who chairs the Knesset Education Committee, was accompanied by Israeli military forces during the incident, despite the army later saying that the destruction had not been authorised.
