Former White House adviser and key figure in the MAGA movement, Steve Bannon, has called on the United States Department of Homeland Security to deport Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son, Yair, and send him to fight in Iran.
“Netanyahu’s kid down in Miami, turf him out tomorrow,” Bannon said.
“Where’s DHS when you need them? Get him back there. Put a uniform on him. Let’s have him in the first wave.”
Neither Yair nor Avner Netanyahu, the prime minister’s second son, has served in the IDF during the war. However, Avner maintains a much lower profile than his brother, who has faced scrutiny for several controversies and outspoken views.
Site emerges calling for Barron Trump to enlist
Similarly, on February 28th, a site was launched with the URL ‘DraftBarronTrump.com,’ a satirical site with fabricated quotes from the Trump family hailing Barron Trump’s bravery and how he should enlist to fight against Iran.
Along with Barron, 19, and Yair Netanyahu, the call for the children of world leaders and powerful figures to enlist is not new.
In the US, nearly all men ages 18-25 are required to register for Selective Service, also known as the Draft.
A draft would require approval from both the president and Congress, and the US has not had one since 1973.
Working with Arab countries to take Kharg Island
Bannon expressed support for working with Arab countries to seize the Iranian island of Kharg.
“Let’s have the Arabs. I want Arabs. I want a UAE, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who’s the best they’ve got over there. And he’s got a real army, it’s not huge, but they actually know how to fight. Kharg Island. There’s your objective. Go,” Bannon said.
Located in the Persian Gulf, Kharg Island serves as Iran’s primary hub for oil exports, with 90% of its crude oil destined for China. In recent days, discussions have begun within the US administration regarding whether to occupy the island to compel Iran to stop blocking vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
“And throw in a couple of Qatar princes. Throw the Saudi princes in there, too. Get them out of London, get them out of the casinos and whorehouses in London. And get them back to the Gulf,” he added.
