Israeli MP hints nuclear bomb should be used on Gaza

A member of the Israeli parliament, Revital Gotliv, called on Israel to consider using nuclear weapons on Hamas, in a post on social media platform X on Monday.

"Jericho missile! Jericho missile! A strategic alert, before we consider introducing our forces. A doomsday weapon!,” she wrote. 

Jericho missiles refer to an intermediate-range ballistic missile developed and produced by Israel. It has a 4,800-6,500 km range and is reportedly equipped with a 750 kg nuclear warhead.

"Only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country's dignity, strength, and security! It's time to kiss doomsday," Gotliv added in another post on X. 

She also called on Israel to “shoot powerful missiles without limit. Not flattening a neighbourhood. Crushing and flattening Gaza.”

In a series of following posts, she said that Israel should use “penetrating bombs, without mercy”.

Gotliv, who is from the same political party as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has said that Israel is at war against “a dangerous and cruel monster”.
