From Far-right MK confronts wounded terrorist in hospital bed: ‘We’ll make sure they kill you’
Far-right MK Zvi Succot burst into a hospital room where a wounded terrorist was being treated and told the man he would work to have him put to death.
Succot, of the Religious Zionism party, was at Jerusalem’s Shaarei Zedek hospital when he learned that the Palestinian who carried out a deadly truck-ramming attack earlier in the day at a West Bank bus stop was being treated there.
Succot entered the room and told the man, “We’ll make sure they kill you. The State of Israel will kill you. We will pass a law to kill you.”
He is then escorted out of the room by a soldier.
Succot posts a video of the incident on X.
בעת ביקור בבית החולים שערי צדק גיליתי במקרה שמאושפז שם לא אחר מהמחבל שביצע את הפיגוע הקשה בגבעת אסף.

Several far-right and right-wing lawmakers have been pressing for Israel to implement the death penalty for Palestinian terrorists.
The attack, in which the assailant drove his fuel tanker at speed into an IDF guard post next to the bus stop, killed Staff Sgt. Geri Gideon Hanghal, 24, of the Kfir Brigade’s Nahshon Battalion, from the northern city of Nof Hagalil.
The attacker was shot and wounded by soldiers and an armed civilian.
