This blog is now closed, please follow our live coverage of the Israel-Hamas war here.

AP is reporting that Benjamin Netanyahu has suspended heritage minister Amihai Eliyahu from cabinet meetings until further notice, after Eliyahu said dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza would be an option for Israel.

Netanyahu earlier said the remark was divorced from reality", and defence minister Yoav Gallant also criticized Eliyahu, saying: It's a good thing that people like this are not in charge of Israel's security."

Minister Amihai Eliyahu's statements are not based in reality. Israel and the IDF are operating in accordance with the highest standards of international law to avoid harming innocents. We will continue to do so until our victory.
