On Tuesday, Pakistani MP Maulana Chitrali said on camera that his country should launch a "jihad" (holy war) against Israel.
"This is the only option for Pakistan," Chitrali said.

He didn't stop there, though, and called on his country to use its nuclear weapons against the Jewish state.
"Did we make atomic bombs to show them in a museum? We don't need missiles, atomic bombs or a huge army if they can't be used to liberate Palestine and Kashmir," he said.
Chitrali's comments came after Pakistani Ambassador to the United Nations Munir Akram on Sunday called on the UN Security Council to initiate steps to "hold Israel accountable for its war crimes and crimes against humanity."
"Above all, the Security Council must promote the full implementation of the relevant UN resolutions especially for the realization of the two-state solution through the establishment of a viable, independent and contiguous Palestinian state with pre-1967 borders and Al-Quds Al-Sharif (Jerusalem) as its capital," Akram told the Security Council.
At the root of Pakistan's foreign policy in regards to Israel is Islamabad's absolute dependency on investments from Turkey, which has been spearheading an extreme anti-Israel stance in international bodies.
