Palestine complains to IAEA about Israel’s threat to drop nuclear bomb on Gaza
According to the Palestinian official news agency Wafa, al-Malki sent an official letter to IAEA Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi, stating that the nuclear threat is “completely consistent with the prevailing discourse in Israel” against Palestinians.
Al-Maliki added that the threat entails “an official recognition that Israel possesses nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction.”
In the letter, the Palestinian top diplomat urged the UN nuclear watchdog and all of its member states to condemn Israel and take action against the threat of dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza.
On Sunday, Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, a member of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, had told Israeli media that dropping a “nuclear bomb” on Gaza is “an option.”
Israel has long refused to publicly acknowledge whether it possesses nuclear weapons.
Israel launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestine resistance group, Hamas on October 7.
At least 10,569 Palestinians, including 4,324 children and 2,823 women have been killed.
