Israeli Minister Amichai Eliyahu announced the possibility of a nuclear strike on the Gaza Strip

Politician Amichai Eliyahu, who holds the post of Minister of Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage in Israel, made a resonant statement.

An Israeli government spokesman did not rule out a nuclear strike on the Gaza Strip.

In one of the interviews, Eliyahu was asked whether it was necessary to resort to nuclear bombing of Palestinian territory located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

The minister’s response was as follows:

This is one of the possibilities – MIA quotes the words of Amichai Eliyasu, published in the Israeli media.

In addition, the politician believes that humanitarian aid cannot be sent to the enclave.

Reaction to Eliyahu’s statement

It is worth noting that the Israeli authorities criticized the politician for his words.

The office of the head of the country’s government described the minister’s statement as “divorced from reality.”

Yair Lapid, who heads the opposition in the Israeli parliament, is confident that Prime Minister Netanyahu should fire the minister who made the resonant statement.

Eliyahu himself tried to justify himself, saying that his statement was “metaphorical.”
