MOSCOW: Israeli Minister’s suggestion of nuclear strike on Gaza raises huge number of questions

MOSCOW, Nov.7, (ST)-The suggestion by Israel’s heritage minister of a nuclear strike on the Gaza Strip has raised numerous questions, including whether “Israel” possesses nuclear weapons, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Solovyov Live television.

“It raised a huge number of questions. The number one question is, did we hear an official declaration that [Israel] has nuclear weapons? Consequently, the next questions that everyone had were: Where are the international organizations, where is the IAEA, where are the inspectors?” she said.

Zakharova also said that such statements by Israeli officials shed light on the true reasons why “Tel Aviv” is opposing the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East. According to the diplomat, the US made every effort to help “Israel” acquire nuclear weapons, giving it full support in this matter.

“If this program exists and existed, where were the tests conducted, at what testing grounds? Obviously, apparently not in the region, then where? And isn’t the United States behind all this?” the diplomat said.
