以色列极右翼议员用大锤砸毁巴勒斯坦纪念碑

以色列极右翼宗教犹太复国主义党议员兹维·苏科特在约旦河西岸巴勒斯坦村庄马达玛，用大锤砸毁了一座巴勒斯坦纪念碑1。这座纪念碑建于2008年，纪念在1968年卡拉梅战役及第一次和第二次起义中丧生的巴勒斯坦人1。

以色列国防军称，已批准苏科特参观该地区纪念碑并提供安保，但指其与他人行为具有欺骗性且未经授权，士兵最终将其护送离开1。苏科特称：“这是我们不能留在这里的东西，因为任何美化恐怖主义的地方，我们都必须拆除。”1

该事件引发巴勒斯坦方面及以色列国内跨党派强烈批评1。以色列总理内塔尼亚胡办公室发表声明批评苏科特行为1。内塔尼亚胡主要选举对手加迪·艾森科特称苏科特行为是“耻辱”1。财政部长贝扎莱尔·斯莫特里奇批评左翼反对派急于谴责苏科特而非恐怖主义1。此外，以色列军方在约旦河西岸最高军官阿维·布卢斯少将据报在闭门会议中向内塔尼亚胡警告定居者暴力可能引发重大升级1。

Israeli far-right lawmaker Zvi Sukkot, a member of the Religious Zionism party, used a sledgehammer to damage a Palestinian memorial in the West Bank village of Madama while under military escort 1. The monument, constructed in 2008, honors Palestinians killed in the 1968 Battle of Karameh and during the first and second intifadas 1. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed it had approved Sukkot's visit to the memorial and provided security, but stated that his and others' actions were deceptive and unauthorized, resulting in soldiers eventually escorting him away 1.

Justifying the demolition, Sukkot said, "This is something we cannot leave here, because anywhere that glorifies terrorism, we must demolish" 1. The incident sparked strong criticism from the Palestinian side and cross-party figures in Israel 1. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office released a statement condemning Sukkot's behavior, and his main election rival, Gadi Eisenkot, called the act a "shame" 1. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich criticized the left-wing opposition for rushing to condemn Sukkot instead of terrorism 1. Additionally, Major General Avi Bluth, the IDF's top officer in the West Bank, reportedly warned Netanyahu in a closed-door meeting that settler violence could lead to a major escalation 1.
