About
Yoav Suisa is a 25-year-old Israeli resident from Givat Etzion in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc, son of Caroline Glick and Shimon Suisa. He attracted media attention in June 2024 during intense protests across Israel against the detention of IDF reservists accused of abusing a Hamas Nukhba terrorist captured during the October 7, 2023, attacks. On June 29, 2024, Suisa was detained by police outside the Sde Teiman military detention facility in the Negev Desert, where the reservists were held. According to reports, he pushed a police officer during the confrontation between protesters and security forces, leading to his brief arrest. He was released soon after, and the incident was covered by major Israeli outlets including The Times of Israel and Ynet, highlighting the political tensions surrounding military police investigations into soldier conduct. Suisa's involvement reflects broader right-wing protests criticizing the judicial and military establishment's handling of such cases amid the ongoing Gaza war. No further public details on his profession, education, or prior activities are widely documented.
