Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu<\/p>\n
A minister from the extremist Otzma Yehudit party says one of Israel\u2019s options in the war in Gaza is to drop a nuclear bomb on the Strip.<\/p>\n
Asked in an interview with Radio Kol Berama whether an atomic bomb should be dropped on the enclave, Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu says \u201cthis is one of the possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eliyahu, of Itamar Ben Gvir\u2019s far-right party, is not part of the security cabinet which is involved in the wartime decision-making, nor does he hold sway over the war cabinet directing the war against the Hamas terror group.<\/p>\n
Eliyahu also voices his objection during the interview to allowing any humanitarian aid into Gaza, saying \u201cwe wouldn\u2019t hand the Nazis humanitarian aid,\u201d and charging that \u201cthere is no such thing as uninvolved civilians in Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n
He backs retaking the Strip\u2019s territory and restoring the settlements there. Asked about the fate of the Palestinian population, he says: \u201cThey can go to Ireland or deserts, the monsters in Gaza should find a solution by themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
He says the northern Strip has no right to exist, adding that anyone waving a Palestinian or Hamas flag \u201cshouldn\u2019t continue living on the face of the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
