Ramaswamy also recommended that a two-state solution be ditched, according to US media.

Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy said Israel should plan a surprise attack at the Four Seasons in Doha, Qatar against Hamas leaders, mirroring the "red wedding" depicted in Game of Thrones, according to US media and a post on X (formerly Twitter) by the candidate.

Ramaswamy called for a "bloodbath" to mimic the fictional television show. 

Though he has previously criticized the US-Israel relationship, the right-wing politician appeared at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership conference in Las Vegas, adding that Israel has an "absolute and unequivocal" right to self-defense. This also includes the calls to kill Hamas leaders following the October 7 massacre.

“If Israel and Mossad want to… take out every last leader of Hamas wherever they may be hiding, from Doha to Dresden — host a ‘Red Wedding’ at the Four Seasons in Qatar the next time [Hamas leaders Khaled] Haniyeh and [Ismail] Mashal show up — they should go ahead and do it,” he said, referring the scene in HBO’s Games of Thrones, portraying the murder of several people at a wedding feast in the television show.

Two-state solution?

Ramaswamy also recommended that a two-state solution be ditched, US media reported.

“If Israel wants to at long last abandon the myth of a two-state solution, Israel should go ahead and abandon a two state solution,” he said. 

The politician also acknowledged the disappearance of the Jewish population from the Arab world since the mid-20th century.
