RAMALLAH, Sunday, November 5, 2023 (WAFA) – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has strongly condemned the racist and inflammatory remarks made by hard-right Israeli Minister of Heritage, Amichai Eliyahu, who called for dropping an atomic bomb on Gaza.

"These comments are a clear reflection of the incitement campaigns advocated by Israeli officials to destroy Gaza and displace its residents, and are a blow to all the countries demanding Israel to comply with international law, human rights principles, and the protection of civilians," said the Ministry in a press statement.

The Ministry underscored that Eliyahu's remarks "align with Israel's policies that deny the existence of Palestinians on their land, reject their rights, and evade [Israel's] responsibilities under international law and legitimate international resolutions."

"These remarks are a translation of the genocidal war that Israel has been waging against the Gaza Strip for 30 days."
