This is the best summary I could come up with:
JERUSALEM, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disciplined on Sunday a junior member of his cabinet who appeared to voice openness to the idea of Israel carrying out a nuclear strike on Gaza, where the war with Hamas militants is inflicting a spiralling Palestinian civilian toll.
Neither would they have inside knowledge of Israel’s nuclear capabilities - which it does not publicly acknowledge - or the power to activate them.
Israel and the IDF (military) are operating in accordance with the highest standards of international law to avoid harming innocents.
A spokesperson for Hamas, an Islamist group that advocates Israel’s destruction, said Eliyahu represented the “unprecedented criminal Israeli terrorism (that) constitutes a danger to the entire region and the world”.
In Eliyahu’s Kol Barama radio interview, it was noted that ravaging Gaza would endanger some 240 hostages - among them foreigners as well as Israelis - held since Hamas sparked the war with an Oct 7 cross-border assault that killed 1,400 people.
Benny Gantz, a centrist ex-general who joined the conservative Netanyahu from the opposition in the streamlined war cabinet, said Eliyahu’s remarks had been damaging “and, even worse, added to the pain of the hostages’ families at home”.
