The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia condemned, in the strongest terms, the extremist statements issued by a minister in the Israeli government regarding dropping a nuclear bomb on the besieged Gaza Strip, which demonstrate the penetration of extremism and brutality among members of the Israeli government.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement today, Sunday, that not dismissing the minister immediately from the government and merely freezing his membership reflects the height of disdain for all human, moral, religious and legal standards and values of the Israeli government.
