MK Deri says ‘We must cut off head of snake’
“A sovereign state cannot allow for a bunch of terrorists to run its life; we must cut off the head of the snake and for every Hamas man to know that his blood is upon his head,” tweets Shas party leader Aryeh Deri.
Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah used similar language about Iran in 2008, urging the US in a cable to “cut off the head of the snake” and destroy Iran’s nuclear program. The comments came to light on the Wikileaks whistle-blowing website.
