Israeli Minister Calls Nuclear Attack on Gaza "An Option"
---------------------------------------------------------

On Sunday, Netanyahu suspended Israel's Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage
Minister Amichai Eliyahu after he claimed there are no noncombatants in
the Gaza Strip and said that dropping a nuclear weapon on the Gaza Strip
is "an option." This comes just days after an Israeli lawmaker from
Netanyahu's ruling Likud Party took to social media to incite genocide.
Writing on the social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, Galit
Distel Atbaryan wrote, "Erase Gaza from the face of the earth. Let the
Gazan monsters rush to the southern border and flee into Egypt, or die."
