Palestinian Authority condemns ‘fascist’ Eliyahu over remark on nuking Gaza
Gianluca Pacchiani is the Arab affairs reporter for The Times of Israel
The Palestinian Authority foreign ministry issues a statement condemning the assertion by Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu that dropping a nuclear bomb on the Gaza Strip is an option.
“The statements by fascist minister Eliyahu are an honest declaration and clear acknowledgment of what the occupying state [Israel] is doing against our people… particularly in Gaza,” says the statement.
Eliyahu’s comments were quickly disavowed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who also suspended the minister from cabinet meetings.
