The Foreign Office said on Monday that Pakistan was “appalled” at the remarks made by an Israeli minister wherein he suggested dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza.
In a post on social media platform X, Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said, “We are appalled by statement of an Israeli minister threatening nuclear force against Palestinians”. She said the remarks reflected an “intention for ethnic cleansing and genocide”.
“This is a wake-up call for the international community to the threat posed by Israeli aggression to regional peace, security and stability,” she said.
Israeli Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu, an ultranationalist politician part of Netnayahu’s ruling coalition, had told Israel’s Kol Barama radio that he was not entirely satisfied with the scale of Israel’s retaliation in the Palestinian territory.
