Naftali Bennett, a former Israeli prime minister and an ultranationalist politician, has expressed support for attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, as well as its leadership and oil facilities.

He was responding to calls by US President Joe Biden for a “proportionate” Israeli reaction to Iran’s missile attack last week.

“Israel must: -Attack Iran’s nuclear program, and: -Attack Iran’s leadership, and: -Hit and cripple the regime’s main economic interests (energy etc.),” Bennett said in a post on X.

“All of these would be only a fraction of what Iran did to Israel. So indeed it won’t be ‘proportional’, it’ll be much less,” he added.
