Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu has argued that 2.3 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip should be condemned to starvation and killed. Eliyahu, speaking to Israel's Channel 7 television, suggested bombing food and fuel depots in Gaza and said the humanitarian embargo should be maintained.

The heritage minister said in an interview with Channel 7 that “even today they give them a back wind.” He said “there is no problem bombing Hamas's fuel and food stockpiles,” adding that “if there are civilians who fear for their lives? Go through the immigration program.”
