Who they are
Sukkot was born in Beitar Illit in 1990 to a Haredi family and left it after the 2005 Gaza disengagement, joining the hilltop youth and later teaching at the Od Yosef Chai yeshiva in Yitzhar. The army exempted him after he told the draft board he had lost trust in it. He ran Otzma Yehudit as chief executive, advised the head of the Samaria Regional Council, and entered the Knesset in 2023.
