ISRAELI prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suspended a minister from his government for suggesting Gaza could be nuked.
Amichai Eliyahu, who is a member of the extremist Otzma Yehudit party, was suspended from his role as Israel’s heritage minister over the inflammatory remarks in a radio interview.
He also objected to delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, branding Palestinians “Nazis”, adding: “They can go to Ireland or deserts, the monsters in Gaza should find a solution by themselves.” Netanyahu has suspended Eliyahu from his government and has barred him from attending cabinet meetings indefinitely, the paper said.“Israel and the IDF are acting in accordance with the highest standards of international law in order to prevent harm to uninvolved people, and we will continue to do that all the way to victory.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
