The United States has strongly condemned the suggestion made by an Israeli junior minister to use an atomic bomb on Gaza. They have labeled this suggestion as “unacceptable” and have called on all sides to refrain from using “hateful rhetoric.”
Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has also distanced the government from these comments and suspended the minister responsible. The State Department spokesman emphasized the importance of avoiding inflammatory language in the ongoing conflict.
It’s worth noting that the remarks have sparked outrage in the Arab world, with Saudi Arabia expressing criticism of the Israeli government for not taking more significant action against the minister who made the statement.
The background of this situation relates to the conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has led to significant casualties on both sides, particularly among civilians.
