The head of the Israeli government, Benjamin Netanyahu, decided to remove Amichai Eliyahu from participating in cabinet meetings.
The fact is that the politician holding the post of Minister of Heritage of Israel recently made a statement that caused a serious reaction in the country.
Eliyahu said a nuclear strike on the Gaza Strip was “one possibility.”
Now the minister’s participation in meetings of Israel’s highest executive body will be impossible, at least in the near future.
Eliyahu will not participate in meetings until further notice, – MIA reports with reference to the Israeli media.
Statement by Amichai Eliyahu
In one of the interviews, the politician did not rule out carrying out a nuclear bombing of Palestine.
Eliyahu called this scenario “one of the possibilities.”
The minister’s words outraged representatives of both the Israeli authorities and the opposition of this country.
There were calls to deprive Amichai Eliyahu of his ministerial portfolio. This proposal was made by representative of the Israeli parliament Yair Lapid.
