Op-ed Warns Israel's Nuclear 'Samson Option' Threatens the Region
Original: “Let Me Die with the Philistines: Israel’s Nuclear Psychosis is an Existential Threat” by Michael Leonardi in The Palest
An essay by Michael Leonardi in The Palestine Chronicle argues that Israel's undeclared nuclear arsenal, known as the Samson Option, poses an existential danger not just to Palestinians and neighbouring states but to Israel itself. The author warns that a state willing to bring down the region in its final moments is a source of constant instability, and calls for the arsenal to be confronted openly.
Why now: Ongoing war in Gaza and rising tensions with Iran have renewed debate over Israel's nuclear posture and the risks of regional escalation.
