US withholding visa from far-right coalition MK over his extremist past

Religious Zionism lawmaker Zvi Sukkot was recently denied entry to the United States due to concerns over his past extremist activities, according to media reports. Sukkot, who has previously been investigated for alleged involvement in settler violence and had administrative orders banning him from the West Bank, disclosed his history during his travel authorization application. His admission of a recent police questioning related to a break-in at a military base further alarmed US consular officials, leading them to withhold his visa. As a result, Sukkot missed his planned trip, though the reason for his visit remains undisclosed. While his wife and parents hold US citizenship, Sukkot's visa status remains unresolved, with reports suggesting a possible resolution soon.
