Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBreaking his silence over Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu’s declaration that Israel is advancing the destruction of Gaza to make the Strip totally Jewish, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that the far-right minister “does not speak for the government I lead.”
“He is not a member of the security cabinet that determines the conduct of the war,” Netanyahu says in a statement.
