Far-right lawmaker Zvi Sukkot has been summoned by police for questioning over his involvement in last year's break-in at the Sde Teiman military base. The incident occurred after Military Police detained several Israeli reservists accused of abusing a Palestinian detainee, sparking outrage and riots led by Sukkot and other politicians. Sukkot was filmed forcing his way into the base, later defending his actions as part of his parliamentary duties. While Sukkot has agreed to cooperate with investigators, two other lawmakers involved have refused to be questioned. The Sde Teiman facility, used to detain Gazans suspected of terrorism during the Israel-Hamas war, has faced allegations of widespread abuse, leading to legal challenges and a reduction in detainee numbers following court intervention.
