An American deputy calls for a nuclear strike on Gaza following the attack on the Israeli embassy in Washington.

In a controversial statement, Republican congressman Randy Fine called for hitting the Gaza Strip with nuclear weapons, similar to the United States bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, in response to the killing of a man and a woman from the Israeli embassy staff in Washington, D.C. This came in an interview with the American channel "Fox News," where Fine described the Palestinian issue as "an evil cause," pointing out that the only solution to end the conflict is "complete and total surrender to those who support terrorism." He added, "In World War II, we did not negotiate with the Nazis or the Japanese, but used nuclear bombs to achieve unconditional surrender, and the same should be done here." This statement sparked widespread anger on social media, especially after the killing of the Israeli embassy staff by gunfire in front of the Jewish Museum in downtown Washington on Thursday, by 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez, who was arrested by the police without a previous criminal record. The police said the suspect shouted "freedom for Palestine" during his arrest, while authorities are investigating whether he posted an anti-Israel statement online before carrying out the attack a day earlier.
