Israeli Minister of Heritage Amichai Eliyahu faced severe criticism after suggesting a nuclear bomb as a possible option against the Hamas terrorist group in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Yair Lapid condemned Eliyahu's remarks, emphasizing Israel's adherence to international law. Eliyahu also labeled Gaza residents as "Nazis" and opposed humanitarian aid, triggering outrage. The conflict, intensified by Hamas's October 7 attack, has led to a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Despite global calls for a ceasefire, Netanyahu remains resolute, rejecting any surrender to Hamas. Casualty figures on both sides remain disputed.
