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.

The important thing is that you learn from your failures. Don't trust muslims. Don't let them in.
Muslim doctrine is very destructive.
>> Speaking in a radio interview, the far-right minister
Far-right huh? I like him already.
Of course to Ha-haa-haaretz, anything to the right of Karl Marx is far-right. And one can’t get too far-left.
Well, that is going upset most of the “eradicate the guilty Palestinian children” crowd around here. All Netanyahu has to do is pick a day when the wind is blowing west and nuke ‘em.
Do you also like his idea of nuking Israel’s front porch?
Gonna keep it up huh? It wasn’t a pro Israli crowd that was sacking our White Houseand trying to overin the base in Turkey. Biden is humiliating the US before your friends.
Selective *Tactical Nukes* sound like a good option.
Bibi will have to be replaced forr this fiasco. He cares more about giving blowhard speeches around the world than really protecting the citizens of Israel. That other guy was correct in believing that all options are on the table.

They can go with the DBA-22MA.. The Daisy Cutter, the Mother of all bombs.. Its warhead contains 12,600 pounds of explosive...
Netanyahu has surrounded himself with a government of fruitloops.
He is a desperate politician who has managed to alienate any legitimate Likud leaders and replaced them with grifters, extremists, and outright incompetents.
Crazy times!
If you think about it, it might have been a ‘setup’ comment that Bibi arranged to have him say. Just to keep that option in the minds of Hamas and those who support the terrorists.
Unlike you, I love Israel and the Jewish people. Draw your own conclusions.
Biden too.
They blow up so fast.
It's a challenge to find objective reporting here too.
A tempest in a teapot.
It wouldn’t make strategic sense for Israel to nuke Gaza because they hope to populate it with Jews in the near future (and the New Gaza Jews wouldn’t want their babies to glow in the dark).
Makes sense that such a statement would be bravado. But the Hamas/Iran gang could use it as an excuse to attack. Some poster here on FR suggested that Netanyahu told the minister to say it. Because Israel wants to be attacked so they can get intelligence, or see how they would react to such a statement? Who knows.
