Egypt condemn Israeli minister call to drop atomic bomb on Gaza

Egypt condemned Israeli Minister of Heritage call to drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza Strip as evidence of the “extent of deviation and extremism” of some decision-makers in the Israeli government, country’s Foreign Ministry said on Sunday.

Ahmed Abu Zeid, spokesperson of Egypt’s Foreign Ministry, said that it is the international community’s responsibility to firmly confront this discourse of violence, hatred, and racism.

The Israeli Minister of Heritage, Amichai Eliyahu, said that anyone waving a Palestinian or Hamas flag “should not continue to live on the earth.” He stated that Gaza must not remain on the face of the earth, and Israel must re-establish settlements there.
