Netanyahu Criticizes Minister Who Suggested 'Option' of Dropping Nuclear Bomb on GazaFar-right minister Amichai Eliyahu, who claimed there are no non-combatants in the Gaza Strip, later said he was speaking 'metaphorically,' but was suspended from gov't meetings by PM Netanyahu

Israel's Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said on Sunday that dropping a nuclear weapon on the Gaza Strip is "an option."

Speaking in a radio interview, the far-right minister maintained that "there are no non-combatants in Gaza," adding that providing humanitarian aid to the Strip would constitute "a failure."
Eliyahu was then asked if – since there are no non-combatants in his view – a nuclear attack on the Gaza Strip is an option. "That's one way," he responded.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by saying that Eliyahu's comments are "divorced from reality" and that Israel and the IDF are acting in accordance with international law in order to avoid harm to non-combatants.
Later on Sunday morning, Netanyahu's office announced that Eliyahu had been suspended from government meetings until further notice.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
Minister Amihai Eliyahu's statements are not based in reality. Israel and the IDF are operating in accordance with the highest standards of international law to avoid harming innocents. We will continue to do so until our victory.

Opposition leader Yair Lapid, for his part, called for the minister's removal. "The presence of radicals in the government endangers us and the goals of the war - defeating Hamas and returning all the hostages," Lapid wrote on X, adding that Netanyahu "must fire [Eliyahu] this morning."
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, the leader of the Otzma Yehudit party that Eliyahu belongs to, said he spoke to the minister who in turn clarified that he was speaking "metaphorically."
It is clear to all sensible people that the statement about the atom is metaphorical. However, a strong and disproportionate response to terrorism is definitely required, which will clarify to the Nazis and their supporters that terrorism is not worthwhile. This is the only…

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant also took to X, calling Eliyahu's statements "baseless," adding that it's "good that these aren't the people in charge of Israel's security."
Gallant's predecessor, Minister Benny Gantz, said Eliyahu's statement damages Israel and "adds pain to the families of the hostages."
MK Mansour Abbas, the leader of the United Arab List party, also reacted to Eliyahu, saying that "in the bottom of my heart, I believe that there will be peace between the two nations."
