Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu has sparked outrage after declaring that Israel is advancing the destruction of Gaza and intends to make the territory entirely Jewish. Speaking on a Haredi radio station, Eliyahu claimed the government is 'wiping out this evil' and suggested that only Arabs loyal to Israel would be tolerated. His remarks have drawn condemnation from opposition politicians, who described them as extremist and damaging to Israel's international standing. The comments come amid growing global criticism over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where aid groups warn of spreading starvation. Eliyahu has previously made controversial statements, including suggesting bombing Gaza's food reserves and referencing nuclear options, further fueling international concern over Israel's conduct in the conflict.
