The American congressman wants the issue of Gaza to be ended as they were done to Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Walberg, who used to be a pastor of the Church, has deleted his statement after being severely criticized.
While addressing the people of his state last week, the lawmaker was asked about the temporary pier being built by the United States near Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid to the people of the region, who the United Nations says are facing a serious risk of starvation. .
In his response, Walberg said: "we shouldn't spend a single penny on humanitarian aid". Saying this in a video posted online last Thursday, the parliamentarian added that: "everything should be finished quickly. Let it be the same with regard to Ukraine".

Elaborating further, he said: "it should be like Hiroshima and Nagasaki," referring to the only two cities attacked by the United States with nuclear weapons, where about 226,000 people, mostly civilians, lost their lives in those attacks in 1945.
But after heavy criticism, on Sunday Walberg tried to delete his statement in a message he posted on the X network, claiming that his remarks were not edited ethically.
The member of the American Congress has added by saying: "in a shortened clip, I used a metaphor to convey the need for Israel and Ukraine to win their war as soon as possible, without endangering American soldiers".../
