Likud MK Moshe Saada calls on his party chief, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to order a strike on Iran’s nuclear sites in retaliation for Tehran’s missile attack on Israel last week.

“I think Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needs to do what’s good for the State of Israel,” Saada tells Radio 103FM. “He now has a unique historic opportunity to be remembered in the history books as a defender of Israel and the West, and all he needs to do is to attack the nuclear [sites]. That’s what needs to be done.”

“Think what would have happened in the latest attack if Iran didn’t have ballistic missiles but rather an atomic bomb. What would Israelis do? The stocking up on water bottles, the bomb shelters, wouldn’t have helped,” he says.

“I think it’s possible,” he says, while acknowledging the complexity of such a move and adding that it should be coordinated with the United States.
